Role - Head of Business and Economics

Location: Oasis Academy Hadley

Salary: Teachers’ Main Pay Scale plus TLR2b plus £2,500 starting bonus

Hours: Full time

Contract: Permanent

Start date: ASAP

Oasis Academy Hadley is a special place to work. A high performing, all through school with consistently excellent outcomes, but most importantly with an unwavering focus on empowering our students to be anything they want to be. So, how does this role play into that? Let us show you...

Business and Economics are increasingly popular within the school, with high levels of attainment across the board. Central to our ethos, we believe studying these subjects gives students the necessary first-hand knowledge and skills to set themselves up for life.

Within our community, many students end up working for themselves or setting up as small business owners, putting their learning to use in real-world situations, and we’re seeing just how much they can achieve.

Heading up such an important subject area is a lot of responsibility and fortunately we offer a lot in return:

• We exist to improve the life chances of young people with fantastic potential who may be burdened with circumstances that are simply out of their control – yes working in these contexts can make it more challenging, but it is immensely rewarding

• We pledge a commitment to your personal and professional development, with a wealth of support and guidance available, both at Academy level and from Oasis Community Learning trust specialists in everything from best practice to pedagogy

• By joining a nation-wide MAT, you have access to a top-quality curriculum resource bank

• You’ll be joining a warm and welcoming school family, where everyone is invested in achieving the best outcomes possible

• A wide range of store discounts and benefits via our dedicated platform

Sound like something you want to be part of?

We are looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about delivering top quality teaching and learning experiences, grounded in real-world examples that will set our students up for tangible success when they leave us

• Dedicated to developing others – you'll be a hands-on coach and mentor both within and outside of your faculty

• Committed to forming strong working relationships with all colleagues, students and families – it takes a whole community to set school leavers up for success and you will play an integral role in this

• Enthusiastic and motivated to deliver a top-quality Business and Economics curriculum for years 10 – 13, setting stretching targets that build on strong prior attainment

• A true believer in the Oasis ethos, and that no matter individuals’ backgrounds, they have the power to have unlimited choices open to them later in life

We believe it is a truly exciting opportunity to join the Hadley community. With everyone dedicated to doing their very best and led from the front by an authentic leadership team, there has never been a better time to become part of our family.
