The Science Team at Oasis Academy John Williams are looking for an enthusiastic science teacher to join their team. This role is open to teachers at any stage of their career. If you are new and looking for your first teaching position, we run an extremely cohesive mentoring programme with experienced mentor teachers to help guide you.
In this role you will help to implement a 5-year centralised curriculum with plenty of opportunity to engage our students with a love of science and how it relates to everyday life. We’re lucky enough to have a hugely experienced lab technician who can work with you to develop practical aspects of lessons to further engage students with their learning and help them to understand some of those more difficult concepts in science.
We run a lively after school Science club and would like to develop more opportunities for students to explore STEM activities and potential careers.
We are looking for someone enthusiastic, with excellent communication and organisation skills to join our successful department and we're excited to receive applications from individuals who feel that they want to be part of that.
Oasis Academy John Williams is a secondary academy in South Bristol which currently serves just over 860 young people. We are housed in a modern new build [opened in September 2010] with a host of subject specialist rooms and in December 2016 we further enhanced our facilities with a state of the art AstroTurf and tartan-running strip. The Academy is part of the Oasis South West Cluster which has three established secondary schools (John Williams, Brislington and Brighstowe) and two new schools who opened their doors to Year 7 students in September 2023 (Daventry Road and Temple Quarter). Our last Ofsted inspection was in 2023 where we were once again judged to be a ‘Good’ school.
We are an academy that is committed to inclusion. Students are regularly taught about protected characteristics, allyship, activism and positive contribution to community. This is delivered as part of the Oasis Personal Development curriculum which we adapt for our local context. We are clear on our role being to develop well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the challenges of adult life and contribute positively throughout their lives.
We also pride ourselves on the measures we put in place to ensure staff wellbeing is looked after and kept as a priority. For example, this year, we have been able to facilitate ‘early release’ for teachers who do not have timetabled lessons after lunch as well as ‘marking release’ where teachers have been allocated either mornings or afternoons to work at home during the Year 11 mock windows. Procedures such as these, alongside a relational leadership approach focused on everybody looking out for and supporting each other is something we are proud of and contributes to our high levels of staff retention.
Closing Date: 9am Wednesday 5th March 2025
Interviews: Dates to be confirmed
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
