Job Description

Tradewind Recruitment are working closely with a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in Derbyshire to recruit a Teacher of Maths with experience supporting pupils with complex learning needs.

This role is ideal for an educator who has worked in specialist SEND settings, complex needs schools, or alternative provision, and who understands that progress isn't always linear - but is always meaningful.

The school supports pupils with a range of complex profiles, including SEMH, ASD, ADHD and associated learning needs. Teaching is delivered in small groups, with a strong emphasis on structure, consistency and trauma-informed practice.

The role:

  • Teaching Maths across KS3 and/or KS4, adapted to meet complex needs

  • Delivering highly differentiated, accessible lessons

  • Supporting regulation, engagement and emotional development alongside academic progress

  • Working collaboratively with therapists, support staff and senior leaders

We're looking for someone who:

  • Holds QTS/QTLS (or equivalent)

  • Has experience in complex learning needs, SEND or specialist settings

  • Is calm, reflective and resilient

  • Understands the importance of relationships, routine and trust

  • Can adapt Maths to be practical, engaging and meaningful

Why work with Tradewind?

  • Competitive daily pay rates

  • Access to SEND-specific CPD and training

  • A consultant who understands complex needs and alternative provision

  • Opportunities for long-term or permanent roles in specialist settings

If you're a Maths teacher who thrives in complex environments and wants to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.
