Position: SEMH Outreach Maths Teacher (GCSE)
Location: Eccles, Salford
Salary: Pay to scale, based on experience
Qualifications: UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) required
Are you a passionate Maths teacher eager to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs? Join our dedicated team as an Outreach Maths Teacher, where you’ll work with students facing significant personal challenges, including those from care backgrounds and those impacted by trauma, to help them access and succeed in their GCSE Maths.
About Us:
Our outreach programme supports young people with complex backgrounds, including those with histories in the care system, and those experiencing mental health challenges. We provide a flexible, trauma-informed learning approach designed to meet each student where they are—whether that’s in a school setting or a tailored outreach location. Through a compassionate and structured environment, we focus on both academic achievement and emotional resilience, helping students manage anxiety, rebuild trust, and gain confidence as they prepare for the future.
Your Role:
* Teach GCSE-Level Maths: Develop engaging, accessible Maths lessons aimed at strengthening foundational skills and guiding students towards achieving their GCSE qualifications.
* Outreach Teaching: Work with students in smaller, quieter environments outside the traditional classroom, allowing for personalised support that meets students’ individual needs.
* Apply Trauma-Informed Practices: Bring a compassionate, patient approach to help students navigate emotional needs and create a supportive learning environment that acknowledges their past experiences.
* Collaborate with Support Teams: Partner with teaching assistants, mental health professionals, and family support workers to provide a cohesive, wrap-around support system for each student’s success.
Who We’re Looking For:
* UK-Qualified Maths Teacher: A UK QTS-qualified teacher with experience teaching GCSE Maths and a strong commitment to alternative education approaches.
* Dedicated to Student Growth: Passionate about empowering SEMH students to achieve their full academic and personal potential.
* Flexible and Patient: Skilled at adapting lessons to individual needs and maintaining an inclusive, encouraging environment for students with diverse learning profiles.
* Team-Oriented: A collaborative mindset, working closely with colleagues, support staff, and families to support each student’s overall well-being and progress.
* No Prior SEMH Experience Required: While experience working with SEMH students is beneficial, it’s not essential—we offer training and support to help you succeed in this specialised role.
Why Join Our Team?
* Targeted, Impactful Teaching: Enjoy working in a highly supportive setting where smaller class sizes or individual sessions allow you to connect with and inspire each student.
* Ongoing Professional Development: Benefit from specialised training in trauma-informed practices and effective strategies for working with students impacted by trauma and SEMH needs.
* Supportive Environment: Be part of a passionate, inclusive team that values your input, expertise, and dedication.
* Make a Lasting Impact: Empower young people to overcome their challenges, achieve academic success, and build a brighter future.
