  We do things differently at Oak and are always looking to improve our ways of working and challenge the status quo. Why not join us and be part of an innovative organisation working to support teachers and improve pupils’ access to quality education?

  We’re actively looking for candidates from diverse backgrounds to work with us to shape Oak’s future. Apply for this role through Applied, a hiring platform we use that’s designed to remove bias from the recruitment process and create a fair experience for everyone.

  We offer flexible working where you can base yourself at home or in a co-working office of your choice; whichever works best for you. This role is part time worked over three days (not including Friday). We believe in continually getting better as an organisation and as individuals and so there are plenty of opportunities for growth and a generous Learning and Development policy.
