Careers

To teach Mathematics across Basic 7 to Basic 9 and to help run the mock examination and revision programme.

Section
Junior High
Contract
Full time
Closing date
30 September 2026

About the role

Mathematics was our weakest core BECE paper in 2026 and we are changing how we teach it — mocks moved earlier, a second weekly prep period for Basic 9, and setting rather than class groups. We want somebody who wants to be part of fixing that.

What you would do

  • Teach Mathematics to Basic 7, 8 and 9 classes of no more than twenty-five
  • Set, invigilate and mark mock examination papers to WAEC standards
  • Write individual revision plans for Basic 9 pupils after each mock
  • Teach the Saturday revision sessions in Terms 1 and 2
  • Contribute to the School-Based Assessment record for every pupil

What we need

  • A Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education or a closely related field
  • GES registration and a current teaching licence
  • At least three years teaching Mathematics at Junior High level
  • A track record of BECE preparation
  • Willingness to be police-checked and to complete annual child-protection training

Desirable, not essential

  • Experience of marking for WAEC
  • Experience of teaching in sets

What we offer

  • Classes capped at twenty-five
  • Free lunch every school day
  • Fee remission for your own children at the school
  • Paid Saturday revision hours
  • Funded professional development
