Job description

At OFG, we work smarter so you can spend more time doing what makes you happy

How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?

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

Location: Dibden Park School, Southampton

Salary: Up to £50,000.00 per annum

Hours: 40 hours per week Monday to Friday
