GCSE Maths Lecturer

Salary + ‘Golden Hello’ up to £7,500 (subject to meeting criteria*)

Based in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, Tameside College is a further education college offering a wide range of courses including Full-Time, Part-Time, Apprenticeships and University Level.

We believe in excellence and we back that up with high standards, real working environments and great teaching. We also believe that attending college is about more than achieving a qualification, important though that is. That is why we aim to give every person the opportunity to develop their full potential in a supportive and friendly environment.

In driving a strong quality improvement agenda we’re looking for ‘outstanding’ teachers in GCSE English and Maths whose enthusiasm and professionalism will inspire our students.   As an exceptional teacher you understand smart assessment and innovative teaching and learning and devise and deliver learning opportunities to meet group and individual needs using a range of teaching and learning methods, you are effective at planning for learning, provide feedback which means students make excellent progress, set challenging and motivational targets and work with your team to maximise study programme hours and opportunities.

As a teacher of English or Maths, you will be primarily responsible for ensuring that all students you teach experience a high quality learning experience and achieve their academic potential through the development of a range of analytical skills, an improved knowledge and understanding in their subject(s) and a love of English or Maths.

We offer a friendly and supportive working environment with good teaching facilities including well equipped classrooms with good ICT.  If this sounds like the professional learning environment in which you would flourish and you have at least ‘A’ level English or Maths coupled with a Cert Ed or PGCE then we would love to hear from you. 

Closing date for applications: noon, Thursday 14th May 2015
