We created Oaks Rise to be something completely different. We don’t just provide a high-quality education—we rebuild trust, self-esteem and wellbeing. We focus on relationships, interests, and giving young people a safe space to reconnect with learning.
If you value neuro-affirming, consent-based and collaborative education, then Oaks Rise is a place where your skills will really matter. If you want to help autistic young people build a positive sense of identity, reconnect with learning and be part of something truly different—we’d love to hear from you.

The Role
We are seeking a qualified, experienced part time PSHE Senior Learning Facilitator to join our small talented and committed team. The role will:

• Experience planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons for KS3 and/or KS4 aged learners.
• Good understanding of and commitment to, neuro-affirmative, low-demand & consent-based practice.
• Experience of teaching autistic children and young people particularly those with high anxiety, school trauma, varying degrees of demand avoidance and ‘high-maskers’.
What We Offer
● Competitive salary
● Pension & occupational sick pay scheme
● Term time working only, but with 52-week contract & pay.
● Free parking
● Genuine focus on staff wellbeing & staff neuro-inclusion policy
● Comprehensive induction including extensive, high-quality training
