Why this role matters:
Are you someone who sees patterns where others see chaos? We are looking for a "Maths Quester" to lead our weekly exploration into the language of numbers. This isn't just a maths class; it’s a club for students who love to "puzzle things out."

Your role and responsibilities:
- Lead weekly "Maths Questers" sessions, moving beyond textbooks to explore the playful side of mathematics.
- Teach students to crack codes, play strategic maths games, and apply mathematical concepts to real-world (and imaginary) puzzles.
- Design engaging activities that focus on pattern recognition, estimation, and logical reasoning.
- Foster a patient and persistent atmosphere where students feel empowered to take risks and explore "puzzling" questions.
- Coordinate with the Culture & Leisure team to ensure the smooth organization of the weekly club.
Who we are looking for:
You will thrive in this role if you possess:
- A genuine love for the "language of numbers" and an ability to make complex concepts feel like a game.
- Previous experience teaching mathematics or leading logic-based activities for young people.
- Proficiency in English is essential; fluency in French is a significant advantage in our bilingual community.
- The ability to inspire students who are naturally curious and to engage them with a spirited, enthusiastic teaching style.
Your personal attributes and mindset:
- You understand that "puzzling it out" takes time and you know how to support students through the process.
- You can turn a car journey estimation into a thrilling classroom challenge.
- Capable of managing materials and planning a series of progressive, exploratory sessions.
