Do you want to teach Maths in a setting where relationships matter as much as results?
Where every small achievement is celebrated, and every young person is seen for who they are, not just the challenges they face?
We are working with a remarkable specialist school in the beautiful Surrey Hills, purpose-built for children and young people with Autism, ADHD, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The environment is calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully designed to help students feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.
Students are taught in small classes with high levels of adult support, and the curriculum is adapted to meet each learner’s individual needs and EHCP targets. Lessons combine structure with creativity, and there is genuine space to teach in the way you know works best.
Why this school stands out
- Purpose-built campus: bright, modern classrooms, sensory and therapy spaces, outdoor learning areas and a forest school on site.
- Integrated therapeutic approach: you’ll work closely with speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and mental health practitioners, with shared planning time each week.
- Inspiring leadership: a Headteacher who leads with empathy and integrity, championing staff wellbeing and professional growth.
- Collaborative team culture: everyone, including teachers, TAs, therapists, and support staff, works together to help each student thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
- Professional development: regular SEND-specific CPD, reflective practice sessions and external training provided.
Who we’re looking for
- A qualified Maths Teacher (QTS/QTLS) with experience teaching up to GCSE level.
- Someone with a calm, consistent approach who believes in connection before correction.
- Teachers from mainstream backgrounds are welcome; if you bring curiosity, compassion and flexibility, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
- You must be able to differentiate effectively, celebrate progress in all its forms, and help students build confidence in their mathematical thinking.
Why apply now
This is a rare opportunity to join a growing and genuinely values-driven school at an exciting stage of its development. You’ll have the freedom to shape your teaching, contribute to curriculum design, and see the impact of your work every single day.
If you’re ready to teach in a setting where your work truly makes a difference, where young people rediscover their confidence and love of learning, we’d love to hear from you.
