Head of Psychology

Thank you for your interest in the position of Head of Psychology at Oasis Academy South Bank.

Our Academy opened in September 2013 with 120 students in Year 7 and has grown year on year with our Sixth Form opening in September 2018 and our founding cohort starting prestigious and exciting university courses last September.

Through love, nurture and a rigorous academic focus, our vision is to support every child and help them to achieve their full potential, becoming model citizens and future leaders. All students are welcome with us, regardless of starting point, need or complexity.

We are totally inclusive and believe that all students here will ‘Climb the STAIRS to Greatness’ and reach our two end goals of getting their dream job and becoming a model citizen. We are unapologetically ambitious for all of our students. We put in place support and stilts to help every student meet our high expectations rather than ever lowering the bar.

We are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved in the last eight years: our dedicated, compassionate and hardworking staff team; our great outcomes and exciting destinations and most of all, the kind, well-rounded young people leaving us who go on to thrive in purposeful and challenging further education.

This is an exciting time to take on leadership of a successful and popular department with students. Approximately 40% of our Sixth Form students take Psychology and our alumni have gone on to study Cybercrime, Medicine and Occupational Therapy as well as Psychology. This role is an exciting opportunity to join our team and to collaborate with other Psychology teachers across the trust. It will require huge amounts of perseverance and a constant drive for innovative excellence. However, this role will also be incredibly rewarding and will offer exciting progression for the future.

I look forward to receiving your application.
