English Teacher job summary

The Oxfordshire Hospital School is an all through maintained special school with a special responsibility for preparing the young people we teach for their futures, whatever they may bring and regardless of the challenges that face them. OHS is a school where time is precious and where every learning opportunity must count. All teaching at our school is 1:1 or in small groups and is entirely personalised and pupil-focused. Pupils are taught in purpose-built classrooms, on hospital wards or in single rooms.

We are looking for a highly committed, positive and skilled secondary English teacher to join and enhance our dedicated team of staff. This is an exciting professional development opportunity for a secondary specialist teacher who is an excellent classroom practitioner from either a mainstream or special provision background.

The successful candidate will be passionate about teaching English to young people who have medical needs and have a desire to reduce educational disadvantage caused by ill health . Flexibility is important within the school so the ability to teach humanities subjects where need arises is also highly desirable.

Initially the post will be split across our Highfield and Children’s Hospital settings, however all our staff are subject to redeployment across all of our settings according to pupil need.

A full induction programme and appropriate training is available to help the successful candidate settle into the school team.

We would encourage and warmly welcome enquiries and will try to accommodate visits as best we can. Please contact Eva Marino , School Business Manager on eva.marino@ohs.oxon.sch.uk or tel 01865 957480 should you require any further information.
