Mathematics Teacher

Start Date: September 2026

We are pleased to announce that a fantastic opportunity has arisen for an innovative, committed, and enthusiastic teacher to join a dedicated and effective Mathematics faculty.

Tibshelf Community School is a thriving, over-subscribed 11–16 secondary school, located in a stunning £17 million purpose-built site opened in November 2013. Serving a wide rural catchment across nine villages in North East Derbyshire, the school is home to over 830 students, with numbers exceeding the official PAN of 150 in every year group.

We are situated close to Chesterfield and Alfreton on the edge of the Peak District National Park and have good transport links, being close to the A38 / A61 / M1 and in an ideal location for people travelling in from Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, or surrounding areas.

This position will provide an exciting and challenging opportunity for an established Mathematics Practitioner or an Early Careers Teacher to join a highly successful and well-established mathematics faculty in a GOOD school.

As well as GCSE Mathematics, we also offer courses in Further Maths, Statistics and Economics. The faculty consists of eight teachers and has seven dedicated maths classrooms, each with two whiteboards and an interactive projector.

The successful candidate will uphold our inclusive ethos, provide opportunities for all students to progress well, be highly motivated and ambitious for all students through an unrelenting focus on them as individuals and have a passionate belief in the ability for all students to succeed.

If you want to work as part of an enthusiastic and talented team of staff and be part of creating a vibrant and innovative learning environment, then we invite you to apply. Applicants are encouraged to visit the school in advance of applying, for an informal chat and tour of the school and should contact Mr K Newton, Director of Mathematics (k.newton@tibshelf.derbyshire.sch.uk) to arrange this.

Provisional Interview Date: Week commencing 23 February 2026.
