The Wandsworth Hospital and Home Tuition Service (HHTS) has an exciting opportunity for a suitably dynamic and experienced Maths Teacher to broaden their experience of working with vulnerable young people at our ‘Outstanding’ provision!

About the School

HHTS is a Medical Pupil Referral Unit provides education for a diverse range of students aged 5-18, within hospitals and the community, who are experiencing a severe or chronic illness and/or have mental health issues.

HHTS encompasses St. George’s Hospital School, the CAMHS School at Springfield, Community Education, Mental Health Outreach and Corner House; the National Deaf CAMHS inpatient unit.

Our students have the opportunity to make accelerated progress through personalised learning programmes delivered in small groups or through one-to-one tuition. Staff and students build positive nurturing relationships, which enable students to grow in confidence, self-acceptance and compassion for all.

The school is situated a short walking distance from Tooting Bec Underground station with excellent transport links.

About the Role:

Our well-resourced provision is staffed with highly qualified teachers and support staff, and you will work in partnership with the multidisciplinary team. You must be willing to work flexibly in a challenging yet rewarding, supportive and creative environment.

Under the guidance of the senior leadership team, you will be required to organise, deliver and evaluate learning for inpatient children presenting with a range of educational needs; setting suitable targets and liaising with home schools.  Part of the role will also require you to work in our home tuition sector, according to need.

We offer:

• The opportunity to work in a unique, dynamic, successful and forward facing service; supported by talented, committed and conscientious colleagues.
