Teacher of Maths Maternity Cover

Teacher of Maths Full time / Fixed term in the first instance to cover a maternity leave, which will be at least for the full 2026-2027 academic year, but possibly beyond this. We have an excellent track record of making fixed term contract permanent appointments. Start Date - 1st September 2026 Salary: MPS/UPS (£32,916 - £51,048) About the role: We are looking to appoint a maths teacher from 1st September 2025 to cover a maternity leave for the entire academic year and possibly longer. We have an excellent track record of colleagues being appointed on a fixed term basis and then becoming permanent members of staff. Given the strength of our maths team and the high levels of expertise in the department, this would be a great opportunity to get your career off to a fantastic start as we have a highly rated early career teacher programme. Equally, if you are experienced, you would fit right in. GCSE results are strong in maths, so you can be confident that you would be part of something special. Our school The Hathershaw College is a very successful and oversubscribed 11-16 Academy. You will see from our Ofsted report that we have retained our good status. I would advise you to read the excellent report before applying. Key highlights from this include: “Pupils behave sensibly around the school and in lessons. They are respectful to other pupils, staff and visitors.” “Staff value the steps that leaders have taken to ease their workload and support their well-being.” We have an excellent reputation for professional development and providing opportunities for people to progress their career. Managing the well-being and workload of staff is something taken extremely seriously by the Principal, having already taken steps to reduce unnecessary burdens and bureaucracy. These radical actions were rated highly in the most recent staff survey, which takes place on an annual basis. As a result of this and many other factors, staff describe Hathershaw as “a great place to work”. We really want you to have a life outside of the classroom so that you can enjoy everything the area has to offer. We have recently replaced our performance management policy with a trust-wide staff development and improvement policy. Whilst we expect high standards from our staff, this new policy no longer links the completion of objectives to pay progression. We also allow eligible staff to move through the pay spine on an annual basis, including those on UPS, meaning that you are able to progress to the highest pay scales in a much shorter period of time than some schools and trusts.

Together, our mission is to celebrate students’ uniqueness and support our young people to flourish and become responsible, successful citizens who contribute positively to their communities. Our t
