Your Role

Love maths? Inspire the next generation and kick-start your teaching career!


Are you a maths graduate with a passion for your subject and a desire to make a real difference to young people's lives?

Co-op Academies Trust has an exciting opportunity for a number of Graduate Maths Excellence Specialists to join us on a two-year fixed term contract, supporting high-achieving pupils to reach their full potential in mathematics.

This is more than just a graduate role. It's an opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience, develop your teaching skills and take the first steps towards a rewarding career in education.


What will you be doing?

Working alongside experienced maths teachers and subject leaders, you'll help inspire and challenge pupils, particularly high-attaining disadvantaged students, to achieve their very best.

You will:

  1. Deliver engaging maths sessions to individuals, small groups and classes.
  2. Support pupils studying GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Statistics and Level 2 Further Mathematics.
  3. Develop creative resources, enrichment activities and masterclasses that bring maths to life.
  4. Mentor pupils, monitor their progress and help build their confidence and aspirations.
  5. Work closely with teaching and pastoral colleagues to support pupils' achievement and wellbeing.
  6. Gain hands-on classroom experience and develop the skills needed for a future career in teaching.


What are we looking for?

We're looking for enthusiastic graduates who love mathematics and can share that enthusiasm with young people.

You'll need a degree in mathematics or a closely related subject with substantial mathematical content (50% minimum), strong communication skills and the confidence to engage and motivate pupils.

Previous experience working with young people would be an advantage, but we're equally interested in your potential, enthusiasm and commitment to making a difference.

You'll also need to be committed to safeguarding, inclusion and creating a positive learning environment for every pupil.


Where could this opportunity take you?

This two-year programme offers a unique pathway into teaching with Co-op Academies Trust.

Following your fixed-term appointment, you will have the opportunity to progress to our teacher training programme, subject to meeting the relevant entry requirements, with the opportunity to continue your career as a qualified mathematics teacher within the Trust.

You'll benefit from practical experience, professional development and support from experienced colleagues as you prepare for your teaching career.


Ready to turn your passion for maths into a career that makes a difference?

Apply today and take your first step towards inspiring the next generation of mathematicians.
