Executive Headteacher

We are looking to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic teacher to join the team at the Oswestry
Education Centre. Oswestry Education Centre caters for students aged 11 - 16 years who
have been predominately excluded from mainstream education. The service has recently been
rated as Good by Ofsted and the report acknowledged that:

At the heart of TMBSS lies a belief that all pupils should leave as confident young people who
are 'world ready'. Inspirational leaders, caring staff and well-planned support combine to
provide the right support at the right time.

Relationships are a strength at TMBSS. Some pupils believe education is not for them before
starting here. However, at TMBSS, they quickly become settled and happy to learn, knowing
they are cared for and that support is available.

Applicants need to have experience of teaching to KS3 and 4 across the ability range, have a
good understanding of Special Needs and be confident in issues relating to pupil behaviour
and classroom management to deliver high-quality education and enrichment activities for the
students.

Many students join TMBSS with undiagnosed or unmet additional needs. The service gains a
clearer understanding of those needs over time through well-considered interventions and
support. For some, this means an accurate identification of special educational needs and/or
disabilities and a support plan. For others, it means uncovering the need for intensive shortterm
intervention to support mental health needs.

TMBSS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and as such, all applicants who are appointed to this post will
be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and appropriate pre-employment checks before the
appointment is confirmed.

Enthusiastic teachers of any subject are welcome to apply and join the team.
