Are you a passionate Maths teacher seeking a change within the FE sector or seeking to change from the Secondary to Further Education sector? Do you have the skills and drive to help us on our journey to excellence? If so, please read on!

Here at North Kent College, we have an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of Maths (to teach up to GCSE) to join our expanding Maths department. The role will involve working across both our Tonbridge campus, which currently has 390 enrolled students on our Maths qualifications, and Hadlow campus, which has 240 students following a Maths qualification as part of their vocational programme. These numbers are projected to increase for the next academic year and so we are looking to expand our team.

At NKC, we are very proud of our achievements within the Maths and English department, with our students achieving Maths GCSE and Functional Skills above the national average for the FE sector, in addition to high attendance through our continued support from the vocational curriculum areas.

Implications of moving from secondary to FE

We have had several teachers move from the secondary to FE phase and for any prospective candidates considering this, we have listed some implications of this transition which you may like to use as a consideration.

  • No tutor group
  • No duties
  • No parent evenings
  • The vast majority of classes have no more than 20 learners
  • Repeat delivery of lessons with only minor changes based on learner needs and backgrounds, so planning is manageable
  • Functional Skills is just a smaller subset of GCSE (eg no algebra)
  • Functional Skills learners have up to 3 opportunities to take the exam
  • Greater opportunity for CPD sessions during non teaching weeks
  • Continuing/no change to expectations

  • Plan and deliver high quality lessons
  • Lesson observations annually
  • Use of a classroom base and office
  • Continuation of the Teacher Pension scheme
  • Learners complete regular assessments to track progress
  • A written report or each learner once a year
  • Differences

  • We have a strong focus on attendance as well as achievement
  • Each learner receives a 2-hour Maths session for approximately 32 weeks
  • Slightly longer days (start at 8:45am, finish at 5:15pm) but over a shorter delivery time (i.e., teaching starts approx. 2nd week in Sept and ends in June)
  • The majority of the delivery is to learners aged 16+ (the vast majority are 16-18).
  • In return, we’ll give you 42 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time contracts), and you’ll be enrolled onto the Teachers’ Pension Scheme which also includes life assurance. You’ll also benefit from free parking and have access to a range of onsite facilities including a nursery (Dartford and Gravesend campuses), restaurants and coffee shops.
  • Earlier return than schools – usually 3rd week in August.
  • This role is a permanent, part time position over 52 weeks per annum, in return we’ll give you 42 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata), and you’ll be enrolled onto the Teachers’ Pension Scheme which also includes life assurance
