Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).

4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG

Job Title:       Science Teacher

About the role

When it comes to looking after our pupils, we never settle for second best. We are looking for a Teacher experienced in teaching a range of subjects and who shares our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable students in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Educated to degree level and/or of Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every pupil to reach their potential.

Essential:

  • Educated to GCSE level and A level, or equivalent

  • QTS or equivalent

  • Experience of working with pupils with SEN, particularly ASC (highly desirable)

  • Experience of working with pupils with challenging behaviour (highly desirable)
