Maths Graduates: Whitehaven (Zero Take-Home Work)

Role: Graduate Cover Supervisor / STEM Specialist

Location: Secondary Schools - Whitehaven & West Cumbria

Pay: 90 - 130 per day

Schedule: Full-Time & Part-Time Roles Available Monday - Friday (Term Time)



The Opportunity

Are you a Mathematics Graduate who enjoys problem-solving but wants to avoid the administrative burden of a traditional teaching role? We are looking for analytical, resilient, and confident individuals to join our team in Whitehaven.

Whether you are looking for a consistent 5-day week or flexible part-time days to balance with further study or other commitments, we have roles to suit your schedule.



The "No Prep" Advantage

For a Maths graduate, efficiency is key. This role is designed to let you focus on presence and communication without the "hidden hours" of education:

  • No Planning: All lesson materials and resources are provided by the school. You simply walk in and deliver.

  • No Marking: Your responsibility ends when the bell rings. No piles of homework to grade.

  • No Admin: Forget data entry or parent evenings; your focus is purely on the 60 minutes in front of the students.



Confidence in the Classroom

We aren't just looking for subject experts; we are looking for leaders.

  • Assertive Presence: You must be confident to manage behavior effectively, using a calm and authoritative approach to maintain a productive learning environment.

  • Managing Dynamics: You will use your logical mindset to stay one step ahead, de-escalating disruptions and ensuring students remain focused on their pre-set tasks.

  • Resilience: You'll need the "presence" to command a room, ensuring respect and safety are maintained at all times.



Why Choose This Path?

  • Full-Time Stability or Part-Time Flexibility: Secure a steady income or work around your own schedule.

  • West Cumbria Impact: Support schools in the Whitehaven area where STEM-literate staff are highly valued.

  • Strong Daily Rates: Competitive pay ( 90- 130) with zero overhead on your personal time.



Who We Are Looking For

  • A University Degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

  • High levels of confidence in managing group dynamics and student behavior.

  • A reliable, professional approach and a desire to work within the Whitehaven community.
