Tradewind Recruitment is currently working with this Client, a high-achieving secondary school in the borough of Tower Hamlets, to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic Maths ECT to join their team on a full-time basis from September 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for an early career teacher to begin their teaching journey within a supportive, ambitious, and academically driven Mathematics department.

This Client is a well-regarded secondary school that has been recognised in its most recent Ofsted inspection for its strong leadership, high expectations, and consistently improving academic outcomes. Inspectors praised the school's culture of ambition, effective teaching, and the positive attitudes to learning demonstrated by students across the school. The report also highlighted the school's commitment to STEM subjects, with a strong focus on developing students' mathematical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and progression pathways.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering engaging and challenging Maths lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4, supporting students in developing confidence, fluency, and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. You will be expected to plan and deliver high-quality lessons, assess student progress, develop effective intervention strategies, and contribute positively to the wider Mathematics department as you progress through your ECT years.

Job role requirements include teaching Mathematics across KS3 and KS4, strong subject knowledge, the ability to deliver engaging and well-structured lessons, effective classroom and behaviour management, and a commitment to supporting students of all abilities to achieve their potential. You will be expected to use assessment data to track progress, provide targeted support where required, and contribute to curriculum development and enrichment opportunities within the Maths department.

The ideal candidate will hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or be completing their teacher training, with a relevant degree in Mathematics or a closely related subject. The successful candidate will be a motivated and reflective ECT with a passion for Maths, a willingness to develop professionally, and the ability to build positive relationships with students and colleagues. Applications are welcomed from ECTs with strong subject knowledge and successful teaching placements.

This Client offers a supportive and well-resourced Mathematics department, excellent mentoring for ECTs, and a strong culture of professional development. Staff benefit from a collaborative working environment where teachers are encouraged to share ideas, develop their practice, and progress within the school. The school is based in Tower Hamlets and benefits from excellent transport links, including nearby Underground stations such as the District, Hammersmith & City, and Jubilee lines, as well as extensive bus routes providing easy access across East and Central London.

Working with Tradewind Recruitment provides additional benefits including competitive pay in line with London MPS/UPS, ongoing support from a dedicated consultant, and unlimited access to National College free CPD courses to support your professional growth and career development.
