About the Role
Are you a creative, compassionate Maths educator who believes every young person deserves to feel confident with numbers? Do you thrive in environments where relationships matter, learning is personalised, and no two days are the same? If so, you might be the perfect fit for our Hummingbird Site.
At 3 Dimensions School, we specialise in supporting students with a range of Special Educational Needs, including ASD, SEMH, ADHD and trauma-related needs.

- Teaching a blend of functional maths, Entry Level, GCSE (where appropriate) and real-life numeracy
- Adapting teaching to meet EHCP outcomes and individual learning profiles

- Embedding trauma-informed, low-arousal approaches to support regulation and engagement
- Tracking progress, identifying gaps and celebrating every success
- Building strong, positive relationships that help students feel safe, confident and ready to learn
