Job Description

Maths Teacher – Newham | Long & Short-Term Opportunities

Are you a Maths Teacher looking for planned teaching opportunities across secondary schools in Newham?

Whether you're an ECT or an experienced Maths Teacher, Ribbons & Reeves are working with schools offering a variety of opportunities across KS3 to KS5.

We partner with schools that require planned teaching cover, meaning assignments are arranged in advance wherever possible rather than relying on unpredictable day-to-day supply. Opportunities can range from short-term cover to long-term maternity leave, sabbaticals, sickness cover and temporary-to-permanent positions, allowing you to find work that suits your experience, availability and career plans.

About the Maths Teacher role:

  • Pre-arranged short-term and long-term teaching assignments
  • Opportunities teaching Maths across KS3 to KS5
  • Long-term maternity, sabbatical and sickness cover available
  • Temporary-to-permanent opportunities with Newham schools
  • Competitive weekly PAYE pay
  • Paid in line with AWR where applicable
  • No umbrella companies involved
  • Dedicated consultant support throughout every placement

What we're looking for:

  • UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential
  • ECTs and experienced Maths Teachers are encouraged to apply
  • Secure subject knowledge across the secondary Maths curriculum
  • Strong classroom presence and effective behaviour management
  • Confidence adapting quickly to different school environments
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
  • Commitment to delivering consistently high-quality Maths teaching

We're looking for dependable Maths Teachers who can quickly establish positive relationships with pupils and colleagues, deliver purposeful lessons and confidently integrate into a new department. Adaptability and strong communication are particularly important when schools need additional teaching support at short notice.

If you're a Maths Teacher seeking flexible, pre-booked opportunities in Newham, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to discuss the schools and teaching opportunities available from September and throughout the academic year.
