Are you an experienced Maths teacher?

Thinking of a role to further your teaching career?

Are you ready for a new challenge?

If you're a Maths teacher with a real passion for your subject, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a committed team at New River College. 

We are now looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher who relishes a challenge, who wants to try new ideas and who genuinely wants to contribute to the lives of young people with drive and passion. The post holder will need to be a confident and effective teacher who can deliver exciting and challenging lessons. 

Many of our pupils are below national age-related literacy and numeracy levels when they arrive. Ability to engage children with SEMH is more important than the phase you are used to teaching so both primary and secondary trained teachers are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome applications from those from a black or ethnic minority background. We also welcome applications from ECTs and NQTs.  

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical), for pupils with social, emotional and mental health challenges (SEMH). We are a trauma informed school, and this is at the centre of all we do with young people. We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEMH or medical needs. 

New River College is split across three sites so a willingness to teach on multiple sites is essential. In addition, the postholder will be expected to teach at least two subjects linked to their main subject area.

Closing date: Midnight Sunday 4th December 2022

Shortlisted candidates will be notified by: Tuesday 6th December 2022

Interviews will be held on: Monday 12th or Tuesday 13th December 2022
