Location: Market Rasen, Lincolnshire (LN8)

Pay: £160 – £230 per day

Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday, term time only

Contract: Temp to perm

Start date: From 9 November 2026

Essential: QTS or QTLS

Luma Education Recruitment has a temp-to-perm opening for a qualified teacher to deliver Functional Skills English and maths at a small special school in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. Your learners are in KS4 and post-16, working at Entry Level 1 and 2, and respond best to hands-on, low-pressure teaching rather than a formal timetable. Ready-made schemes and online platforms are supplied, so your planning time goes on adapting work for each learner. It is a term-time role on the Lincolnshire County holiday calendar, starting from 9 November 2026.

The Setting

A small, rural SEND school that sits within a wider group of specialist schools. It is expanding its KS4 and post-16 provision, and learners may attend vocational placements, including mechanics, for part of the week.

Day to Day

- Teaching reading, writing and maths through everyday, practical tasks

- Building Functional Skills from Entry Level 1 towards accredited qualifications

- Adjusting your approach for learners with a PDA profile, offering choice and reducing demands

- Keeping clear records of progress for each learner

- Feeding ideas into a curriculum that is still taking shape

About You

- QTS or QTLS

- A background in FE, post-16, alternative provision or SEN

- Confidence teaching literacy and numeracy at Entry Level

- Good classroom pedagogy; you don't need to be an English or maths specialist

You'll be calm, flexible and nurturing, with the patience to win round reluctant learners.
