About the Role

Dv8 Sussex is seeking skilled and qualified teachers of Maths to deliver GCSE and Functional Skills sessions in our Brighton and Bexhill centres. Liaising with the vocational tutor teams, the post holder will deliver Maths sessions to groups of 16-19 year old learners, enabling young people with a range of abilities (from Entry Level to foundation GCSE) to progress, build confidence and gain qualifications.

Job purpose: The post holder will be expected to ensure high qualification success rates by developing a curriculum of learning that engages, motivates and challenges. Learners enrolled on our creative vocational courses should be encouraged and enabled to achieve the skills needed for progression in education and life - as well as successfully passing GCSE and/or functional skills exams as required.

The post holder must have a creative mind-set, with the ability to engage young people who are motivated and inspired by creativity. Where possible, Maths should be linked to the learners’ vocational area to embed an understanding of how Maths might be used in genuine situations within the creative sector. This may be combined with a more traditional approach to ensure learners are equipped to sit exams.

The post holder will demonstrate effective assessment procedures in order to identify learners’ readiness for GCSE and Functional Skills exams. They will help to develop key areas within the Maths programme including research and application of good practice, as well as liaising with other tutors to identify opportunities to embed numeracy within vocational courses. The post holder will also co-ordinate and carry out teaching and learning activities appropriate to the needs of individual learners; and participate in quality assurance processes, including internal verification, marking and feedback.
