United Kingdom Data Protection Officer: Judicium Consulting Limited Full time

Oak Wood School is seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher to lead our thriving History and Politics department. Applications are welcome from experienced teachers able to teach History throughout the ability range at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. Excellent support is available from a very experienced team. All students study History at Key Stage 3 and it is a popular option at Key Stage 4 and continues growing in popularity at A Level. Government and Politics is offered by the department at A Level and has a strong foundation in place to develop over the coming years. We need you to have a love of teaching and a willingness to trial new ideas and be a team player who puts the good of our students at the heart of all that you do.

Oak Wood School was judged as a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted (May 2022) and is a truly inclusive, mixed, multi-ethnic 11-18 school that embraces all aspects of comprehensive education. A career at Oak Wood School is your chance to be part of a remarkable team that are working to ensure our students are prepared to be the well- rounded leaders of tomorrow.

“Pupils at Oak Wood School are polite, friendly and confident. They are part of a diverse community and get along well with each other. The school’s ethos is for pupils to dream, learn and grow. Staff here inspire pupils and develop their knowledge, understanding and character.” Ofsted 2022

We believe our best resources are our teachers. There is a popular and thriving programme of professional development in the department and across the school at all levels and colleagues have the opportunity to develop personally and professionally through our membership of organisations such as the PiXL club and the Hillingdon Learning Partnership (HLP). The school also offers a comprehensive induction programme and excellent promotion prospects. Colleagues benefit from a commitment to staff well-being and are provided with several schemes to support them maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. This post would be appropriate for an ECT or a more experienced teacher – we will also consider applications from candidates who would request a part-time role.
