Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you want to be part of an ‘Outstanding’ school? Do you want to be a part of an innovative team transforming the lives of children in the heart of London? Do you value developing the whole child as well as securing them brilliant GCSE results? If so, Oasis Academy South Bank is the place for you.

OASB opened in September 2013 and is a pioneering secondary school based in Waterloo. Ofsted graded us as Outstanding in all areas, in June 2015, calling us “A school where no child is left behind” (Ofsted, June 2015). Now in its sixth year, we have 600 students across Year 7 - Year 11. With a Sixth Form that opened in September 2018, there will be many opportunities to grow within the non-teaching team and regular professional development.

Our main goal, our vision, is to enable our students to secure their dream job. We value our students as individuals and implicit within this is a team of staff who care deeply about the citizens they become.

We have a clear and transparent behaviour management system that is consistently applied throughout the school, allowing staff to work without having to worry about low level disruption. The Ofsted inspection team who visited the Academy in 2015 noted that “behaviour and safety are outstanding. Students have a strong work ethic; their social responsibility and pride in the Oasis community are particular strengths”. Our weekly Shout-Out Assemblies encourage students to praise one another for the brilliant things they have done throughout the week and our half termly Celebration Assemblies allow us to recognise the students who consistently go above and beyond within their lessons and the wider school day with their families.

Our staff go above and beyond expectations to ensure that our students, parents and staff benefit from the highest standard of support from the non-teaching team.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of an outstanding, high performing team who are passionately committed to securing the best possible life chances for the young people of Waterloo.

This role will require huge amounts of resilience, perseverance for the long haul and a constant drive for innovative excellence. However, this is also a role that will be incredibly rewarding and will offer exciting progression for the future.
