Maths Teacher
The Supply Service are recruiting for a Part Time Maths Teacher on behalf of a SEMH Childrens Residential School based in Welshpool, Powys.
3 days per week - 8:30am - 16:00pm
Responsibilities:
You will be part of a small team of teachers, supported by a school administrator and led by the Head and Deputy.You will be responsible for your curriculum/ subject areas – preparing, planning and delivering the lessons.
There will be differentiation to meet the needs of your students and creativity to engage interests and expose the students to new experiences and learning.
Class sizes are small, typically 3 students, and so there is a high level of individual engagement, pastoral support and guidance.
There are various internal meetings, reporting tasks, assessments and other administrative activities that you would associate with teaching looked after or ALN pupils.
In addition to the staff team meeting, as a therapeutic setting we have additional support and reflection spaces to engage with – some just for the teaching team, some for the wider adult team and some that involve the students too.
Safeguarding and managing boundaries is a key part of the role – but we do this with very open communication and active use of relationships – we have very low levels of incidents, safeguarding referrals or more extreme challenging behaviours.
We have our own residential team on site and our own therapy team – so part of the role is about integrating with that wider team – the whole service operates as a ‘therapeutic community’ and so we have a lot of spaces for staff to reflect on their work in teams and together with the boys.
This is work based on the relationships between everyone – boys, staff, up, down and sideways – we place a lot of support on helping staff develop their own self-awareness in relationship to others.A more detailed ‘technical’ Job Description in relation to teaching and learning and educational systems is available to support interested applicants.
Requirements:
We are interested to hear from people with a wider range of experiences and backgrounds.We are looking for qualified teachers, but at any stage in their career development. We are registered to provide induction processes for new entrants to the profession.

A sense of humour, life skills, broad interests, liking young people, resilience, creativity, problem solving etc – the boys need a variety of role models around them.
