Teacher of Maths

At Crossway Enhanced Provision, we work hard to create environments that are welcoming, caring, calm, safe and purposeful. Are you the kind of teacher who does not give up on young people; even when they have given up on school? Can you stay calm when behaviour is challenging; build trust when it has been broken; and keep your expectations high every single day? Can you find ways to make maths work for children it has not worked for before? Then welcome to Crossway: a special place where we aim to: Engage, Experience, Empower. About the role: We are looking for a resilient, skilled and committed Teacher of Maths to join our team. You will work with children in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 who have been excluded from mainstream settings or are disengaged with school and need a different approach to their education. This provision operates as part of Haywood Academy within the City Learning Trust. Our children often arrive with disrupted educational experiences and a range of additional needs. Some will present with extremely challenging behaviour; many will have experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences. Our approach is therefore grounded in trauma-informed practice, an understanding of the issues children face and restorative ways of working; this means consistency, patience and strong relationships are essential. Relationships come first; learning follows. We work differently here. Classes are small; the curriculum is flexible and bespoke; and every day is built around our mission to engage, enrich and empower young people. This is not an easy role. It requires adaptability, creativity and resilience. However, it is a role where you can genuinely change the direction of a young person’s life. United by our values, we place children and young people at the heart of all we do. What you’ll de doing: • Building strong, consistent relationships that support both behaviour and learning; • Managing behaviour through calm, consistent
