Summary

Different Mindsets Need Different Maths. Could you be the solution?

Randstad Education is looking for a Maths Teacher who understands that "one size fits all" never applies to the classroom. We are partnering with a dedicated SEN School in Colchester that needs an educator who can look past the numbers and see the individual student.

School Overview:

This is a highly respected, over-subscribed 11-16 academy in Colchester known for its exemplary student behavior and "Outstanding" pastoral care. Rooted in a faith-led ethos of "Prayer and Work," it offers a calm, focused, and high-achieving environment where both staff and students are empowered to flourish within a close-knit, inclusive community.

The Role

  • Contract: Full-time - Term time only

  • Location: Colchester

  • Pay Rate: Competitive pay rate

As a Mathematics Teacher, you will join a department that prides itself on academic rigour and innovation. You will use modern tools-including interactive platforms like Sparx Maths-to deliver a curriculum that builds deep conceptual understanding. Whether you are helping Year 7s master the basics or guiding Year 11s through their higher-tier GCSEs, you will be part of a team that consistently achieves strong "Basics" results and inspires students to see the real-world value of Mathematics.

Your Responsibilities

  • Think Outside the Box: Turn abstract algebra into practical life skills (budgeting, time-management, spatial awareness).

  • Build Resilience: Support students with SEMH, ASD, or learning difficulties to overcome "maths anxiety."

  • Be the Constant: Provide a stable, structured, and empathetic environment where students feel safe to make mistakes.

  • Collaborate: Work alongside therapists and support staff to calculate the best path forward for every child.

Desired Qualities

  • You have QTS and a knack for simplifying the complex.

  • You don't just teach a curriculum; you teach a person.

  • You are resilient, calm under pressure, and a natural "pattern-finder" for student behaviour.

  • You want small class sizes where you can actually make a measurable difference.

Benefits:

  • Pay: Competitive daily rates (Long-term).

  • Career Progression : Opportunities to online CPD courses to enhance your skills

  • Support: Weekly pay and a dedicated consultant at Randstad to manage your transition.

  • Referral bonus: £300 shopping voucher upon successful referral through Refer-a-Friend scheme.

This is an excellent opportunity to utilise your expertise in managing complex needs and making an immediate positive impact on vulnerable young people in a highly supportive, structured environment.

Hurry up and make a difference in the lives of young learners. Send your application to sada.laxmi@randstad.co.uk or call 07441 928041 and speak with Sada.
