Partnership Teaching Fellow (Graduate) - Maths

London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (2021 Sunday Times Sixth Form College of the year) is recruiting a Maths Teaching Fellow to join the team working on the school’s exciting outreach project, Chrysalis East, with a particular desire to recruit candidates from the school's local area.
