Job Description
Maths Second in Charge – Enfield – September 2026
A results-driven, high-achieving secondary school in Enfield is seeking a talented and ambitious Maths Second in Charge to join their thriving Mathematics department from September 2026. This is a permanent Maths 2iC role within a school rated Outstanding by Ofsted, recognised for its analytical curriculum, strong leadership pipeline, and exceptional standards of classroom practice.
About the School
This Enfield secondary school has cultivated a culture of mathematical excellence, where structured teaching, logical rigour, and high expectations are embedded at every level. The Maths department delivers a challenging, sequentially planned curriculum across KS3, KS4, and KS5, with strong GCSE and A-Level outcomes year on year. Behaviour is underpinned by clear, consistent whole-school systems, giving teachers the platform to deliver with confidence and ambition. Staff are actively supported through research-informed CPD, collaborative planning time, and meaningful leadership development — making this an outstanding environment for a practitioner ready to step into middle leadership.
What the School Offers
- A TLR-supported Maths 2iC role with a clear pathway to Head of Department
- Structured CPD programme with access to Maths Hub networks and national teaching partnerships
- Robust behaviour policy with strong pastoral and SLT support
- Collaborative departmental planning with a focus on reducing unnecessary workload
- A high-achieving Mathematics faculty with strong examination results and pupil outcomes
The Role
As Maths Second in Charge, you will support the Head of Department in leading curriculum planning, overseeing assessment and data analysis, and driving attainment across all year groups. You will deliver outstanding Maths lessons, contribute to staff development within the department, lead on intervention strategies, and play an active role in enrichment provision — including Maths challenges, problem-solving clubs, and UKMT competition preparation. Building strong, productive relationships with pupils, colleagues, and parents will be central to your leadership approach.
What the School is Looking For
This permanent Maths 2iC position is best suited to candidates who:
- Hold UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- Possess a strong academic background — a 2:1 degree or above in Mathematics or a related discipline from a reputable university, ideally Russell Group
- Can demonstrate a substantial track record of successful secondary Maths teaching within a UK school setting, with clear evidence of strong pupil outcomes
- Have experience of, or a demonstrable aptitude for, departmental leadership, curriculum planning, or staff development
- Are confident working within and contributing to whole-school assessment and behaviour frameworks
- Are legally entitled to work in the UK — the school is unable to provide visa sponsorship
This is a mid-to-senior classroom leadership role; candidates without significant UK secondary Maths teaching experience are unlikely to be considered.
Salary & Contract
Outer London MPS: £37,870–£50,474 | UPS up to £56,154. A TLR2 is attached to reflect second-in-department responsibilities. Exact TLR value confirmed on application.
