About the Role

 

At Groveside School, you'll have the opportunity to make a lasting difference to the lives of young people who need education delivered in a way that works for them. Our students have a range of additional needs, including SEND, ASD and SEMH, and we're looking for a passionate Maths Teacher who can build trust, unlock potential and inspire a genuine love of learning.

This is far more than a teaching role. You'll join a dedicated, supportive team that is committed to helping every student succeed, both academically and personally. With smaller class sizes, strong pastoral support and the flexibility to tailor your teaching approach, you'll have the time, resources and freedom to create meaningful learning experiences and celebrate every achievement.

Whether you're already working in specialist education or you're an experienced Maths Teacher seeking a more rewarding and purposeful career, this is an opportunity to change lives while developing your own. If you're ready to help young people overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve their potential, we'd love to hear from you.

What you will be doing

• Deliver engaging and creative Maths lessons tailored to individual student needs
• Build positive relationships that support confidence, engagement and achievement
• Monitor progress and adapt teaching strategies to help every student succeed
• Create a calm, safe and structured learning environment
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, families and external professionals
• Contribute to curriculum development and school improvement initiatives
• Champion high standards of safeguarding, wellbeing and inclusion

What you will bring

We're looking for a passionate and resilient Maths Teacher who believes every young person can succeed with the right support.

• QTS or equivalent teaching qualification
• Experience teaching Maths at secondary level
• A student-centred approach with high expectations for all learners
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Experience of, or an interest in, SEND, ASD and SEMH education
• The ability to motivate, engage and inspire students who may have experienced barriers to learning
• A commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and helping young people achieve their full potential

About Us   At OFG Education, we believe every student deserves an education designed around who they are. Through high expectations, deep expertise and truly personalised education, we help students realise their potential and prepare for successful futures.   Building on more than 20 years of experience, we are bringing our approach to more students and communities around the world. Across the UK, Iberia and the Gulf, our schools combine the strength, expertise and high standards of an international education group with the individuality of each school and the communities they serve.   Whatever your role, joining OFG Education means contributing to our shared ambition: empowering every student to success through truly personalised education.
