Teacher of Mathematics - Full-time or Part-time

 Gad's Hill School is an Independent School for pupils aged 3 to 16.  We wish to appoint a talented and passionate teacher of Mathematics to join our team. Full details of responsibilities can be found within the job description but, in summary, the successful candidate will provide effective teaching, as part of an efficient and collaborative team, so that pupils learn and make good progress in Maths.

Mathematics is compulsory at GCSE and taught by three specialist teachers. The school currently uses the AQA exam board and regularly achieves outstanding success. In 2018 the department achieved a 92% GCSE pass rate, while in 2017 this was 96%. The new teacher of Maths will be expected to engage in training and to maintain an awareness of local and national educational developments with a view to strengthening and improving the GCSE results even further in the long term.

Newly Qualified Teachers would be welcome to apply for this post. The post could potentially suit a teacher looking for part time employment.
