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).
If the trial is a success, we'll be rolling out the 4DWW across the Group, making this an exciting time to join #teamOFG!
Role: Teacher
Location: Wessex Lodge School, Frome, Somerset BA11 4LA
Salary: From £32,000.00 per annum (not pro rata)
Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
We now have a fantastic opportunity for Class Teachers to join our close-knit team at Wessex Lodge School, part of Acorn Education.
About The Role
As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils. In this role, you will have every opportunity to live up to this ambition, responding to the needs of individuals with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs, helping them flourish and thrive.
You will plan and deliver engaging learning on a daily basis, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom. Working as a Teacher with us is not your average teaching role. At Outcomes First Group, you are able to work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support we have available.
You will observe, monitor, and assess our students, ensuring their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.
Who We Are Looking For
You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, as comfortable talking to pupils with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs as you are with contributing to the school's vision and direction.
Our schools are unique environments, each with its own special atmosphere and range of opportunities and resources. Our teachers enjoy becoming part of their school's family, exploring the potential of the building and environment, and getting to know the brilliant pupils in our care.
You will enjoy building these caring relationships as well as liaising with fellow professionals, whether they are colleagues in the same school or they work in the pupils' previous educational establishments.
Requirement:
* UK QTS or equivalent
* Previous experience
