Safeguarding & Prevent
SEN Maths Teacher (Permanent, Full-Time, Term Time Only)
Salary: £32,916 to £45,352 per annum (M1 to M6 - depending on experience)
Location: Mansfield & surrounding local hubs (Notts, Derbyshire, Leicestershire)
Hours: 40 hours per week, Term Time Only (Enjoy your holidays!)
If you became a teacher to actually change lives rather than just tick boxes, manage 30+ chaotic classrooms, and drown in data tracking-this is the escape route you've been looking for.
We are looking for a qualified Maths Teacher who wants to step away from the mainstream assembly line and step into a role where you can truly focus on the individual child. We support vulnerable young people (aged 7-19) who have disengaged from traditional education.
Here, you won't just teach fractions and algebra; you will rebuild confidence, restore self-esteem, and transform futures.
Why this role is different (and better):
Small Groups & 1:1 Teaching: No huge classrooms. You will work closely with learners, allowing you to actually build relationships and see the immediate impact of your work.
Creative Freedom: Forget rigid, one-size-fits-all lesson plans. You will have the autonomy to design multi-sensory, innovative, and flexible lessons that trigger a genuine breakthrough for each learner.
Real Work-Life Balance: This is a full-time, permanent, term-time-only role. When the term ends, you get to disconnect and recharge.
A Supportive Culture: You will be part of a collaborative team that champions mental wellbeing, creativity, and the belief that no child is "unteachable."
What you'll be doing:
Designing and delivering personalised, flexible Maths programmes tailored to each learner's unique needs, interests, and EHCP goals.
Using creative, hands-on, and real-world methods to make Maths engaging for students who find the abstract concepts difficult.
Collaborating with a dedicated support team to track emotional, social, and academic progress.
Advocating for your students, ensuring their safety, inclusion, and mental wellbeing are always the top priority.
What we need from you:
We can teach you the specifics of our SEN frameworks, but we can't teach passion. We are looking for:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.
A strong background/experience in teaching Mathematics.
A genuine empathy for young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN experience is preferred, but a strong desire to learn and adapt is just as valuable!).
A valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance. (Essential, as you'll be moving between local learning hubs and helping transport our young people).
Ready to make a real difference?
If you are a reflective, passionate teacher ready to leave the mainstream stress behind and rediscover your "why," we want to hear from you.
