High Level Teaching Assistant: Enrich Coordinator for SEMH

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?

Do you believe that belonging and connection to one's peers and teachers are essential for academic and personal growth?

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 of 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, alongside the founding staff body. The appointed candidate will work closely with our team of dedicated and motivated practitioners to continue to establish the culture, ethos, and values of a new free school.

Job purpose:

In collaboration with teachers and other support staff, the post holder supports, plans, prepares and delivers elements of learning to students on a one-to-one, small group or class basis.

The post holder will be responsible for leading on a specialist teaching and learning provision for students with SEMH.
