Job description

Suitable for ECT (NQT) Graduates, Other Graduates, Apprentices

Are you passionate about supporting all students to achieve their personal best?

Do you strive to empower your students to become confident, curious, and compassionate learners?

If you answered yes to these questions, Oasis Academy Temple Quarter presents an exciting opportunity for you.

The OATQ journey

We opened our doors in September 2023 on the site of Oasis Academy Brislington, before moving to our purpose-built temporary home on Spring Street in Bedminster in January 2024. We are currently located less than 0.5 miles from Temple Meads train station, at the heart of our vibrant city centre.

In 2027, we will move to our permanent site, situated in Bristol’s Temple Quarter development zone, one of the most exciting regeneration projects in the UK at present. Temple Quarter will become a world-class gateway to the region that unlocks the city of Bristol and the West of England’s potential. A series of well-connected and thriving mixed-use communities will benefit new and existing residents, employees, and visitors with new homes, jobs, infrastructure, and opportunities. Oasis Academy Temple Quarter will be at the heart of this development.

Currently, our Academy comprises two-year groups, Year 7 and Year 8. In September 2025, we will have 3-year groups with the following cohort sizes:

• Year 7 – 120 students
• Year 8 – 150 students
• Year 9 – 120 students

When we move to our permanent site in 2027, we will have a PAN of 1600 students (1200 in Y7–Y11 and 400 in sixth form), and we expect our cohort to be truly representative of the central part of Bristol, in all its diversity.

To date, our students have bought into our culture and show pride in being part of OATQ. The Oasis Way is taught explicitly to students, and we are pleased to say that, so far, our students are responding brilliantly to the high expectations we set.

The role

The right candidate will join our team in Phase 2 of the academy's journey. We currently have two year groups and approximately 300 students. This role would be ideal for a candidate with a keen interest in DT who can successfully enable teachers to teach and learners to learn.

At present, we have a Head of DT who coordinates the curriculum; however, this role would seek to provide capacity in the preparation of key teaching and learning resources.

Working pattern: 14 hours per week; we have flexibility for how this can operate.

Oasis Academy Temple Quarter is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.
