Permanent, Full-time (0.8FTE also considered)

Salary: £30,000 - £46,525 FTE

We are excited to be growing our Maths provision at BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy for September 2024! Previously delivered by a small team of part-time teachers, we are now recruiting for a full-time post!

We are looking for a creative, energetic teacher to take ownership of our post-16 maths curriculum (Numeracy, GCSE resit, and A'Level), someone to develop it into something unique, exciting and highly effective.

We are looking for a maths enthusiast, who will want to immerse themselves in academy culture. Someone who will actively create links between maths/numeracy and the vocational stage and screen production pathways, and contribute to an environment and culture where students see the value of maths and want to advance their skills.

We are looking for someone with a love for maths, a passion for working with young people aged 16-19, and with a genuine interest in Theatre, TV, and Film.

We are looking for someone to inspire our students and staff. Someone to bring the joy of maths to life, and put numeracy at the core of the academy curriculum where it belongs.

The BOA Group is a unique and outstanding creative educational hybrid, committed to the highest standards of excellence. We are a growing Multi-Academy Trust offering creative hubs for the expressive arts and for specialist technical and digital skills. Currently comprising of three academies – ‘BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts’ (opened in 2011), ‘BOA Stage and Screen Production’ (opened in 2021) and ‘BOA Digital Technologies’ (opened in September 2022) – we also have The Old Rep Theatre, in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, within our portfolio. Located near the centre of Birmingham, we benefit from superb facilities for academic, vocational, and extra-curricular activities.

BOA Stage and Screen Production is committed to providing high-quality, distinctive post-16 education through a specialist curriculum in outstanding facilities. ​We combine the delivery of vocational qualifications for students wanting to pursue a career in film, TV and theatre focusing on the needs of the industry today and in the future.

​Specialising in creative, technical, production, performance administrative and management courses for theatre, film, TV and online platforms we will provide a dynamic and personalised learning journey for each individual student to unlock their potential, provide first-hand industry experience, and enable them to excel in their chosen pathway. Through our outstanding teaching, state-of-the-art facilities, industry links and creative partnerships, we aim to embed the relevant skills and competences within a culture of high standards, dedication and a drive to succeed.

Our vision is to offer more than a purely academic curriculum. We are committed to providing our students with specific enrichment components alongside their vocational qualifications. All students will follow a vocational award and employability training with opportunities to also gain industry recognised qualifications.

We aim to ensure that our students leave BOA Stage & Screen Production ready and able to work in the industry from day one. By studying stage and screen sectors throughout their time at the Academy, students will have a wide range of opportunities to find employment, apprenticeships or enter higher education. As well as using these transferrable skills to enter broader areas of work, industry, training or higher education.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, confident and enthusiastic teacher to plan, prepare and deliver Mathematics (Numeracy, GCSE resit, A'Level) to small groups of highly committed and enthusiastic post-16 students.

This role is suitable for an ECT or an experienced Mathematics teacher. A full induction package and CPD opportunities are offered to help develop your teaching practice.
