Job Introduction

Get Set for Impact: Join a Team That Delivers Futures

Can I borrow 30 seconds?
When we speak to people thinking about roles like this, they often tell us they’re:

• Frustrated that maths feels abstract, not practical.
• Disappointed when learners can’t see how numbers connect to real life.
• Unsure how to use their teaching to open doors to work and opportunity.

I get the impression none of these apply to you?
They do? Thought so. Well, I’ve had my 30 seconds. Give me a minute more and read on…
