Maths Teacher

If you really want to make a difference and improve the lives of some of young people, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Pace Education is seeking to appoint an inspiring and dedicated individual who has the ability to support the delivery of Maths from Entry Level Functional Skills up to GSCE Level. Differentiation and individualised learning strategies are vital skills required to meet the needs of all our pupils who will have had varying degrees of success in their educational lives.

We are looking for someone who shares our energy, enthusiasm and commitment to improving outcomes for young people who have become disengaged with education. 

We believe that no young person should be failed as a direct result of their past experiences and complex histories, and we are committed to helping them overcome adversity and provide a positive influence upon their current and future lives. No two days are ever the same, so it is vital you have the flexibility and resilience to work in this truly rewarding sector.

About the School

Pace Education is a special educational needs school, located in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, supporting pupils with a variety of needs including social, emotional and mental health needs and Autistic Spectrum Condition. We are currently registered to work with 13-16 year old pupils and have a maximum occupancy of 30. The school achieved a ‘Good’ Ofsted grading in May 2018 with an Outstanding judgement for Personal Development, something we are incredibly proud of and continue to develop.

Our school supports children who are disengaged with education and have often been permanently excluded. We believe all children deserve a chance and it is our mission to support their individual needs and reignite a love of learning. We do this by creating bespoke pathways and utilising individualised teaching strategies. Furthermore, we adapt to meet the child’s needs.

As a school, we provide a broad curriculum and utilise off-site learning. Children access qualifications ranging from Entry Level to GCSE across a variety of subjects.

Our school is based in a large building but also has outbuildings that can potentially be developed to increase capacity and extend the needs and age range we can positively work with. This truly is a unique opportunity and one that will only be limited by imagination.
