English Teacher job summary
Teachers at the Oxfordshire Hospital School work with young people with medical needs from Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. We are exciting to be recruiting for a permanent English teacher post. The post will initially be based at The Highfield Adolescent Unit, which is an inpatient unit for the assessment and treatment of adolescents (11 – 18 yrs of age) and is part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The post holder may also be required to work in both our Outreach Teaching team and at the Children’s Hospital depending on pupil need. All our staff can be redeployed to any of our locations according to teaching needs.
This is an exciting professional development opportunity for teachers who are excellent classroom practitioners from either a mainstream or special provision background and who are passionate about teaching and learning for young people who have medical needs.
We are seeking a teacher with recent experience of teaching English to GCSE level and preferably with experience of teaching A level although this is not essential. The ability to offer at least one other subject to at GCSE level is desirable.
Teachers work as part of a multi-disciplinary team and an understanding of the complexities of a hospital environment or multi-professional working would be an advantage.
Full support and appropriate training is available to help the successful candidate settle into the school structure.
