Offering genuine career development opportunities that stretch way beyond the confines of a traditional school structure (Oasis is both international and also runs community hubs, food banks and even farms,) you would be joining a family that puts the welfare, wellbeing and recognition of our employees at the very centre of what we stand for and believe in.

We know for senior leaders, helping to lead an academy is a tough job requiring resilience and flexibility – which is why we wrap around an unrivalled support network of peers and innovative educators to lean on and develop alongside; all aligned with the Oasis vision to deliver exceptional education within the heart of our communities, whilst providing the autonomy to put your stamp on the school.

About the role:

We are seeking a talented leader who can inspire and motivate students and staff. You will work to secure the highest standards across our academy. In addition, you will be a member of the Academy Leadership Team, which sets the strategic direction for the whole academy. This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated and inspirational leader, with strong experience in secondary education.

You will present as a resilient, creative and an effective change agent that brings everyone together in a shared vision that has student success and achievement at its very heart.
