About the role:

Activate Learning are looking for Maths Teachers to join our established teaching teams at our Oxford campus.

We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic individuals with the ability to inspire, so that students studying on our GCSE Maths courses have a memorable learning experience.

This post provides an excellent opportunity for a teacher with passion and drive who is committed to enabling our students to unlock their potential and switch on to the power of learning. Alternatively, this could be an ideal development opportunity for a newly qualified teacher or Maths graduate looking to get into teaching.

This is a permanent, part-time position working 29.6 hours per week (0.8 FTE) based at our Oxford campus.

What do you need to be successful in this role?
