Closing date: 22nd September 2008

Vacancy ref: LE03844

The Millennium Mathematics Project, based at the University of Cambridge, is seeking a graduate in mathematics or a related subject with substantial secondary school teaching experience to take on the part-time (40%) role of Cambridgeshire Further Mathematics Centre Project Co-ordinator. The Centre provides teaching of AS and A2 Further Mathematics modules to pupils at schools in the Cambridgeshire region which for various reasons require support with Further Maths teaching.

This is an exciting and rewarding post with considerable potential for development. The role holder will be responsible for co-ordinating, planning and delivering the project, liaising very closely with local schools in which the project operates, teaching A-level Further Maths themselves and recruiting and managing additional tutors, organising study and enrichment day events, and promoting the further study of Maths and Further Maths to GCSE and post-16 students in the region. The post is based in Cambridge but involves some travel within the Cambridgeshire region.

The successful candidate will have experience of teaching Further Mathematics, excellent organisational and co-ordination skills, excellent communication skills, excellent IT skills, the ability to build and maintain good professional relationships, and will be a confident and enthusiastic teacher with a passion for the subject.

Because the post involves working with children appointment will be conditional on an enhanced CRB (police background) check revealing no bar to working with children or vulnerable adults. The starting date is as soon as possible after September 2008, or by January 2009. The post is offered for a fixed term until 31st July 2010, with the possibility of extension if further funding is secured.
