Maths Academic Mentor – Haringey – September 2026

 

A well-regarded, high-achieving secondary school in Haringey is seeking a motivated and mathematically confident Maths Academic Mentor to join their dedicated Mathematics department from September 2026. This is a full-time, term-time contract role running for the full academic year through to July 2027, offering a genuinely rewarding opportunity to make a direct and measurable difference to pupil attainment in a structured, supportive school environment.

 

About the School

This Haringey secondary school is rated Good by Ofsted and has built a strong reputation for mathematical ambition and evidence-based classroom practice. The Maths department delivers a well-sequenced curriculum across KS3 and KS4, with consistently improving GCSE outcomes and a culture that places pupil progress at the centre of everything it does. Behaviour is managed through clear, consistent whole-school expectations - giving every Maths Academic Mentor the focused, purposeful environment needed to work productively with pupils who require targeted support. Staff at all levels are valued, well-supported, and given genuine opportunity to contribute to the school community.

 

What the School Offers

• A clearly structured mentoring role with day-to-day guidance and support from experienced Mathematics teachers
• A calm, well-managed school environment with strong pastoral and behaviour support systems in place
• Regular opportunities to develop subject knowledge, mentoring skills, and familiarity with the British national curriculum
• A welcoming, professional department culture where every Maths Academic Mentor is treated as a valued member of the team
• A strong platform for graduates considering UK teacher training, with school-based experience that strengthens future applications considerably

 

The Role

As a Maths Academic Mentor, you will deliver focused one-to-one and small-group support sessions to pupils across KS3 and KS4 who are working below expected levels or preparing for GCSE examinations. Working closely with qualified Maths teachers, you will align your sessions with the departmental scheme of work, use formative assessment to identify and address gaps in understanding, and maintain clear records of pupil progress to feed back into the wider team. Building trusted, motivating relationships with pupils will be at the heart of your work as a Maths Academic Mentor in this school.

This Maths Academic Mentor position is best suited to candidates who:

• Hold a strong academic background in Mathematics - a 2:1 or above from a reputable UK university, ideally in Maths, a STEM subject, or a numerate discipline
• Can demonstrate a clear ability to explain mathematical concepts confidently and accessibly to secondary-age pupils
• Have some experience working with young people in a UK educational, tutoring, or mentoring context
• Are comfortable operating within established whole-school behaviour and safeguarding frameworks
• Are committed to the full term-time contract from September 2026 through to July 2027
• Are legally entitled to work in the UK - the school is unable to provide visa sponsorship

 

Please note this role does not require Qualified Teacher Status, though candidates with QTS or those actively working towards a UK teaching qualification are welcome to apply.
