£180–£240 per day | Full‑time | Long‑term | September start
Axcis is working with a well‑established secondary pupil referral unit in Barking & Dagenham to find a confident and committed Maths Teacher to join their team on a full‑time, long‑term basis from September.
This is an excellent opportunity for a secondary Maths Teacher who wants to make a genuine difference to young people who may have found mainstream education challenging. The provision supports students aged 11–16 who benefit from smaller classes, consistent routines, personalised teaching and strong relationships with trusted adults. Pupils may have experienced exclusion, disrupted education or difficulties linked to SEMH, behaviour, anxiety, autism or ADHD.
About the Role
As the Maths Teacher, you will teach students across Key Stages 3 and 4, delivering lessons that are accessible, purposeful and matched to individual starting points. Students may be working towards GCSE Maths, Functional Skills Maths or personalised numeracy targets. Classes are smaller than those found in most mainstream secondary schools, allowing teachers to build meaningful relationships and tailor learning more closely to individual needs.

- Deliver GCSE Maths, Functional Skills and targeted numeracy support
- Plan engaging and differentiated lessons for pupils with varied starting points
- Help students rebuild confidence and close gaps caused by disrupted education

- Adapt teaching for students with SEMH, ADHD, autism and additional learning needs
- Work closely with teaching assistants, mentors and pastoral staff
- Track progress and contribute to pupil reviews, reports and individual support plans
- Support students preparing to return to mainstream education, further education or vocational pathways
Qualifications
- Qualified Teacher Status, QTLS or strong experience teaching secondary Maths
- Good knowledge of the KS3 and KS4 Maths curriculum
- Experience delivering GCSE Maths or Functional Skills Maths
- Strong behaviour management and relationship‑building skills
- Confidence teaching students who may be disengaged or working below age‑related expectations
