Job Description

Maths Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the North West

Start date: 13 October 2026

Are you a maths specialist who enjoys helping learners rebuild their confidence with the subject?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, delivering GCSE and Functional Skills maths to learners studying across a range of vocational programmes.

Many of your learners will be resitting, and some will have found maths difficult for years. You'll plan sessions that meet mixed abilities, close gaps in knowledge and show learners how numeracy applies to work, life and further study.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering engaging and accessible maths lessons to learners of mixed abilities.
  • Planning and preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Marking learners' work and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Tracking learner progress and supporting those with gaps in knowledge.
  • Maintaining high standards of classroom management and a positive learning environment.
  • Working with curriculum colleagues to support achievement and retention.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience of teaching GCSE or Functional Skills maths in further education or secondary education
  • A maths-specific qualification or strong numeracy background
  • Ability to differentiate and adapt teaching to varied learning needs
  • Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, CertEd, DET or a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training
  • Understanding of the GCSE specification and effective resit strategies

If you're ready to help learners achieve the maths grade that opens up their next step, we'd love to hear from you.
