Class Teacher

Outcomes First Group
GB - Hampshire - SO45 5TD
November 14, 2024

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: Class Teacher

Location: Dibden Park School, Southampton

Salary: Up to £42,000.00 per annum

Hours: 37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday

Contract: Permanent; Term time only

As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Class Teacher to join our close-knit team at Dibden Park School, part of Acorn Education.

About the role

This is a great opportunity for a Teacher who wants to have the opportunity to work flexibly, focusing on each individual and who is skilled at developing creative learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

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 young people 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.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important.

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)

Experience of working within a multi-disciplinary team or with a therapist (highly desirable)
