ADVERT

Providence Learning Partnership (initially through Durham Sixth Form Centre) aims to become a centre of excellence for the teaching and learning of mathematics, and to provide opportunities for students with an interest and aptitude for mathematics, especially to those from backgrounds currently under-represented in the mathematical sciences. The Trust works with students and teachers in other schools to promote deeper understanding and greater enjoyment of mathematics as well as supporting students to achieve higher attainment in their GCSE, leading to greater participation in mathematics at advanced levels, A-level.

We are looking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational teacher, leader and manager who will take accountability for the development and delivery of our maths outreach projects. This leadership post is an opportunity for a knowledgeable and passionate educationalist who has experience of working in a school to take on a broad ranging role which has the potential for significant impact on young people with an enthusiasm for mathematics. 

The post is full-time, though applicants wishing to work part-time will be considered. The expectation is that the successful candidate will teach mathematics at Durham Sixth Form Centre. The post holder will be given a significant reduction in their teaching allocation to allow them to fulfil the responsibilities of the role. Although we aim to undertake the majority of outreach during school hours (taster lessons, masterclasses etc.), some activities may happen outside of this (for example, early evening online revision classes and occasional Saturday open days) and so the successful candidate should be willing to offer some flexibility, when required, with their working hours.

The successful candidate must be committed to working in an inclusive environment in support of the values, vision, purpose and direction of Providence Learning Partnership.
