If you share our values, join our family.

Serving the bustling city of Sheffield, Outwood Academy City was constructed in 2011 with state-of-the-art facilities and joined Outwood Grange Academies Trust three years later. The school has undergone a huge transformation for its 1000 students, with an innovative curriculum and a personalised approach to learning enabling them to realise their vocational, practical, creative and academic abilities.

This was recognised by Ofsted in February 2019, when the academy was judged ‘Good with Outstanding Leadership’. Inspectors noted that, “Leaders and teachers demonstrate high expectations for all pupils. They are determined that pupils achieve well in their subjects”.

We are seeking to appoint a committed individual to work across the curriculum to support students with varying needs in mainstream lessons, or working with individual small groups of students, and will work flexibly as part of our inclusion team. The successful applicant will be required to work as part of a dedicated team of staff and relate to a wide range of staff and students within the Academy.

The successful applicant will put the needs of young people first, have a passion for learning, excellent interpersonal skills, and will be both ICT and emotionally literate.

Applications are invited from suitably experienced individuals with the energy and confidence to become an integral part of the academy.

As part of a growing multi-academy trust, the successful candidate will be well supported and have access to a range of high quality professional development through the Outwood Institute of Education.

In line with the Government’s announcement, our academy is closed until further notice. However we are still busily planning ahead for the forthcoming academic year and are excited about welcoming new recruits to come and join us. In place of academy based interviews, we have set up systems to ensure the alternative options are still available via Skype/video conferencing wherever possible. Every effort will be made to try and accommodate any specific requirements so that no-one is at a disadvantage.

Understandably, visits to the school are not possible at present, however we are really keen to ensure that you have as much information to proceed with your application as possible, so if you would like a conversation about the academy or the position, please contact Natalie Hall, SEND Officer on n.hall@city.outwood.com and we will be happy to assist.

Closing date: Midday on Tuesday 18 August 2020.

Interview date: Friday 21 August 2020.

We reserve the right to close advertisements early. Advertisements will therefore close at 12noon, either on the advertised closing date, or the day the decision has been taken to close the advertisement early.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All appointments will be subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
