Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Although better placed to develop economically and socially as a result of opening our international airport in 2017, we are not at the stage of self-sufficiency and therefore remain dependent on UK government aid. There are four schools on the island; one secondary and three primaries. The curriculum broadly models the English education system.

It will be your role to lead, co-ordinate and develop Mathematics at St Helena's Secondary School while you monitor and assess student performance and develop the tracking systems currently in place. You will plan, prepare and deliver appropriate schemes of work including key stage 3, 4 and 5 where applicable, providing high quality CPD for colleagues in Mathematics.

Managing resources and equipment you will assist primary school staff with curriculum development and offer training in the teaching of Mathematics across the primary schools. You will also contribute to the teaching of Mathematics in Adult Education.

Holding a UK teaching qualification and QTS you are qualified to degree level in Mathematics, with substantial experience of teaching Mathematics at keystages 3, 4 and 5.

You have some overseas experience, preferably in a developing economy. With a history of CPD for yourself and other staff, you have a specific background in numeracy improvement at any level plus knowledge of a range of GCSE and A level courses available for Maths and of the Secondary Curriculum within the UK relevant to Maths.

In addition, you must demonstrate our core values of fairness, integrity and teamwork and use your diverse expertise and experiences to ensure your time on the Island has the broadest benefit to St Helena. As an officer funded through the Technical Co-Operation Programme you will be expected to share your knowledge and skills beyond the workplace contributing to workforce, community and capacity development in St Helena.
