Maths Teacher | Sixth Form College | Brighton

CORE PURPOSE

We require an mathematically elite highly analytical Maths Teacher to deliver high-level pure mathematics mechanics and statistics instruction across Key Stage 5 (A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Further Mathematics). Operating within a dedicated post-16 academic environment the successful candidate will facilitate a rigorous university-preparation curriculum designed to sharpen abstract problem-solving advanced algebraic calculus and statistical modelling preparing students thoroughly for competitive STEM degrees and terminal public examinations.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

• Advanced Key Stage 5 Seminar Instruction: Plan and deliver conceptually dense fast-paced A-Level seminars breaking down complex topics including advanced calculus coordinate geometry matrices and complex numbers.

• Higher Education & STEP Preparation: Provide specialist mentorship for high-achieving mathematics students running advanced workshops for university entrance papers including STEP MAT and TMUA to secure top-tier Russell Group and Oxbridge placements.

• Data-Driven Academic Tracking: Implement rigorous exam-style formative assessment routines analysing micro-data from weekly problem sets to design sharp targeted interventions that maximize high-grade boundary retention (AB).

• Mathematical Literacy Enrichment: Lead co-curricular math clinics and engineering societies entering exceptional students into the UKMT Senior Mathematical Challenge and fostering independent mathematical research.

• Progressive Pastoral Tutoring: Act as a specialized Personal Tutor to a cohort of 1619 students guiding them systematically through UCAS applications personal statements time-management strategies and the transition to mature independent learning.

ENVIRONMENT & STRUCTURE

• Post-16 Higher Education Framework: Operating entirely within a mature pre-university college environment this institution focuses solely on sixth-form education. Teachers are completely free from Key Stage 3 behaviour management general playground duties or lower-school coverage.

• Campus Culture: The college features an adult self-motivated and highly collaborative atmosphere. Students treat staff as academic peers wearing their own clothes and managing their own study blocks ensuring lesson times are dedicated 100% to deep uninterrupted mathematical theory and collaborative problem-solving.

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

• Qualifications: A strong honours degree (First or 2:1) in Mathematics Statistics Physics or a heavily quantitative engineering discipline from a leading university. Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a recognized post-16 qualification (such as QTLS) is preferred but experienced lecturers or subject specialists with outstanding academic backgrounds will be fully considered.

• Pedagogical Capability: Exceptional subject proficiency with a proven capacity to deliver top-tier AA outcomes in terminal A-Level written papers through explicit proof-first pedagogy.

• Intellectual Agility: The ability to field spontaneous complex mathematical queries from highly articulate students demonstrating a passion for pure numbers and elite logical reasoning.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

• The Progressive Coast & Academic Innovation: Based in the vibrant forward-thinking coastal city of Brighton & Hove East Sussex the college thrives within a highly educated creative and technologically rich eco-system heavily supported by the research hubs of the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton.

• Connectivity & Infrastructure: The campus boasts excellent South East transit links providing seamless road access via the A23 and A27 coastal corridors. Exceptional rail infrastructure operates smoothly through Brighton main station offering frequent rapid Southern and Thameslink services running directly to Gatwick Airport Croydon London Victoria and London Bridge alongside easy east-west rail links to Worthing Portsmouth and Eastbourne.
