We are seeking to recruit a permanent, full time, Head of Mathematics beginning in April 2025. Applicants should be capable and visionary teachers with the ability to run this ambitious, lively and highly successful department comprising nine members of staff. The successful applicant will be expected to lead by example and to be able to teach the full range of courses offered from Form I to Form VI. They will have the ability to teach at the highest levels with confidence and authority and, as such, an Honours degree in Mathematics or a closely related subject is required. We are looking for an individual who demonstrates a genuine love of Maths, enthusiasm for teaching it and an imaginative, creative and energetic approach to helping pupils to share this enjoyment.
The successful candidate will also require the organisational and communication skills that are essential to the smooth running and successful development of a large department. Computers, interactive technology and web-based resources are now an intrinsic part of Mathematics teaching and fluency with these, together with a thoughtful approach to their use, is essential.
The Academy has a rich co-curricular programme in which all members of staff are expected to participate.
Candidates should either be registered with the GTCS, or eligible for registration.
