Job overview
The Governors seek to appoint a well-qualified, creative, and enthusiastic Teacher of Mathematics to join a strong, innovative and successful department. The school is part of the LaSWAP sixth form consortium and offers opportunities to teach all pupils up to and including Further Mathematics at A-level.
The successful applicant will be fully supported by colleagues in a high-performing and cohesive team which invests in the promotion of mathematics across the school and in the wider community. Our team have created an extensive and enriching curriculum that supports our pupils in developing a conceptual understanding of mathematics. We want our pupils to think deeply about mathematical ideas. How can a mathematical idea be represented with manipulatives? What are the connections between different mathematical representations? What are the similarities in the mathematics that underpin two different concepts? These are the types of questions that we ask ourselves and our pupils daily.
The successful candidates should:
- Share a genuine interest in the development of teaching and learning in mathematics
- Be a highly reflective practitioner with an ambition to constantly refine and develop their own practice in response to research
- Be able to contribute significantly to the development of a comprehensive and well-resourced mathematics curriculum

- Have high expectations for the learning and achievement of all students
- Support the catholic ethos of the school and have a strong commitment to the formation of young people.
Applications to join our sociable and hardworking team are welcome from both experienced teachers and NQT’s.
Informal visits are welcomed by prior appointment with the Headteacher.
La Sainte Union welcomes applications from all members of the community irrespective of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability to ensure that the staff is representative of our school and its community.

About La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School
La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School, as a Catholic community, believes that: Our Lord Jesus Christ, in his life and teaching, is the exemplar of our work as Christian educators. Our commitment is at three levels:
- Pupils
- Teachers
- Community
We strive to provide a caring, secure environment in which each pupil can discover and realise their own potential. We wish to develop strength of character and confidence by stressing the pursuit of excellence and concern for others. We seek to educate the whole person, academically, socially, spiritually and morally through a curriculum based on Christian principles and centred on the needs and aspirations of our pupils. We endeavour to promote the dignity of each individual who is a child of God, endowed with their own gifts and talents.
At the heart of the school and in the spirit of Jean Baptiste Debrabant, our founder, are the teachers and support staff. We are both the custodians and developers of his vision in believing that:-
"a Christian-based education offers a sure hope for the future of religion and society."
We recognise that commitment to service is integral to Catholic education. We share the task of promoting gospel values, thus preparing our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
As a Catholic community we are part of a local, national and universal Church, dedicated to ensuring that our pupils grow to an understanding of their Faith in a Catholic environment, where the calibre of religious teaching and quality of life will be formative of the hearts and minds of young people.
Fundamental to the successful education is the partnership between governors and staff, pupils and parents, parish and wider community.
