Maths specialist SEND

Not every pupil connects with maths in the same way.

In a SEND school, it takes patience, creativity and a different approach to help things click, and that’s exactly what makes this role so rewarding.

We’re looking for a Maths Specialist to support pupils with additional needs, helping break down barriers and build confidence in a subject that can often feel overwhelming.

What this role is all about:
You’ll be working with pupils who need extra support to access maths, often in smaller groups or 1:1.

This role sits within a SEND setting, where pupils may have a range of needs including ASD, ADHD and SEMH. At times, this can include behaviour that is challenging, so resilience, consistency and a calm approach are key.

You’re not just teaching maths. You’re helping pupils believe they can do it.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering tailored maths support to pupils working below age-related expectations
• Breaking down concepts in a way that feels accessible and engaging
• Supporting pupils with a range of SEND needs
• Managing and responding to behaviour with patience and confidence
• Working closely with teachers and support staff to track progress

What we’re looking for:

• Strong maths knowledge and confidence delivering interventions
• Experience in a school or SEND environment is highly desirable
• Confidence supporting pupils with challenging behaviour
• A calm, resilient and adaptable approach
• Someone who finds the win in every small step forward
