DYS Space Ltd (space*) works to unlock potential with young people and their communities. We have an exciting opportunity at our Independent School, Chances, for a dynamic and determined Maths teacher to join us.

We want to appoint an outstanding and creative Maths teacher at our school in Red Rock Youth Centre, Dawlish and are happy to consider applicants from NQT’s who display these qualities. You’ll work, alongside experienced youth workers and teachers as part of our Chances Education Support Service team. We deliver a core curriculum to young people in key stage 3 and 4. Chances works with young people, often facing multiple challenges, referred from schools and local authority departments, who could benefit from our unique blend of formal and informal education packages. Students are referred for short and effective intervention, outside of mainstream education in order to reduce exclusions and de-escalate some of the challenges. The ability to engage and motivate young people on the fringes on mainstream education is an essential requirement of this post.

We are seeking a resilient individual who is able to develop trust with vulnerable students and with colleagues and who enjoys learning from mistakes - their own and others’. We want you to be responsible for developing our Maths offer and and to bring your knowledge, skills and the right attitude to enable others to also do so. Preferably you will have experience of multi-agency work as well as an understanding of social care processes - but if you don’t, we’ll teach you. Chances is committed to safeguarding young people and staff. Appointment is subject to enhanced DBS disclosure and references.

If you’re energetic, pro-active, innovative and a committed teacher, who understands and thrives in teamwork environments, we’d love to hear from you.
