What do you need to be successful as a GCSE Maths Teacher at Activate Learning?

We are looking for people who can act as role models for our students and ensure that they leave us with not just their professional qualifications, but the attributes required to progress in the world of work. A genuine interest in working with and developing young people is a requirement.

Understanding the importance of tailoring our teaching methods to meet the needs of all learners is essential. When working with our GCSE learners, it's essential to use strategies that promote engagement, accommodate diverse learning styles, and build a strong foundation for academic growth.

Previous teaching experience in the FE sector would be an advantage, but it is not a requirement. As long as you have the qualifications or experience to teach on our Maths courses and demonstrate the attributes to be an inspirational teacher, we can provide you with the necessary training, development and support to equip you to teach in the FE sector.

• Level 3 or above qualification in Maths or relevant qualification is essential.
• It is desirable if you have a teaching qualification and worked within education as a teacher, but this is not essential.

Your communication and interpersonal skills will be outstanding and support your ability to deliver interesting and purposeful lessons to a diverse range of learners. You will also have strong organisation skills coupled with the ability to prioritise workloads and will benefit from being part of a supportive team, working in a varied and interesting role with a variety of opportunities for career development.
