Teacher - Oscott Manor School

Oscott Manor School is looking to appoint a skilled and flexible professional to join our team as Class Teacher on a temporary basis to cover maternity leave until 31st August 2025.

Our school is a vibrant and welcoming community special school for pupils aged between 11 and 19 with autism as their primary diagnosis. This is an exciting time to join Oscott Manor. We are at the beginning of an improvement journey to provide a high quality education for all pupils who attend here. Our school is a fast paced and energetic environment, where all staff are committed to working together, with families, to improve the life chances of the pupils in our care.

At Oscott Manor School, the experience of the child or young person is paramount and we expect all actions and decisions to reflect this. We are proud to be a Gold UNICEF Rights Respecting School. All our pupils have an education, health and care plan and may have persistent difficulties with social interaction, social communication or understanding emotions. Such differences can significantly impact their access to the curriculum. Our rich curriculum intends to develop knowledge and skills and prepare pupils for adulthood, teaching them to be ready, respectful and safe and develop independence.

We are looking for a qualified teacher, who can carefully adapt their teaching to ensure challenge and enable progress and who is relentless in their pursuit of positive outcomes for young people. This post could be based in Key Stage 3, 4 or 5 and successful candidates may be required to work at either the main site on Reservoir Road B23 6DE or The Sixth Form Centre at Ryland Road B24 8JJ.

Applications are welcomed from teachers with any subject specialism and with primary, secondary or special school experience. There are significant inclusion and pastoral responsibilities attached to this role and all candidates should ensure they have read the job description in full before applying. In addition, the class that the successful candidate will lead, may be in any of our pathways from Pathway 1 (formal academic curriculum) to Pathway 5 (informal developmental curriculum)
