Numeracy Intervention Tutor – Sunderland Secondary Schools
Competitive Daily Rates, Long-Term, ASAP Start
Teaching Personnel is recruiting a Numeracy Intervention Tutor for secondary schools across Sunderland, with positions available immediately. This is a targeted support role focused specifically on students who are falling behind in Maths — working with them on a 1:1 and small group basis to close gaps, rebuild confidence, and give them a better chance of achieving meaningful outcomes at KS4.
It's a role that suits someone with a strong Maths background who enjoys the close, focused nature of intervention work over whole-class teaching. Whether you're a Maths graduate, an experienced TA with a numeracy specialism, or a teacher looking for something different, this is worth considering.
What the role involves:
- Delivering structured numeracy interventions on a 1:1 and small group basis
- Identifying gaps in student understanding and adapting sessions accordingly
- Tracking and monitoring student progress and feeding back to class teachers
- Supporting students across KS3 and KS4 who are working below age-related expectations
- Liaising with the Maths department and SENCO to ensure a joined-up approach
- Upholding safeguarding responsibilities at all times
What we're looking for:
- A strong Maths background — a degree, teaching experience, or a numeracy-focused support qualification
- Experience delivering interventions or tutoring in a school setting is desirable
- Patient, methodical, and confident working with students who find Maths challenging
- Ability to make Maths accessible and rebuild student confidence in the subject
- Enhanced DBS on the Update Service
What Teaching Personnel offers:
- Competitive daily rates
- Weekly pay via PAYE
- Dedicated consultant support
- Free CPD and professional development
