This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of the set up, and development, of a new provision for Oracle School, supporting children with SEMH needs. We will expect you to utilise your existing subject skills and knowledge to enhance the vocational pathway courses, contributing to the success of our pupils and changing children's lives for the better.
