Art Technician

We are looking for extra capacity to support our art department. We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven individual who can make a real difference to students at Oasis John Williams. This role involves a range of different responsibilities across a number of disciplines in art from 3D sculpture, ceramics, drawing, painting, printing and photography. The role is flexible in its demands: from maintaining and ordering equipment and materials to photographing artwork and loading the kiln to supporting students in lessons. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to work alongside highly motivated and committed team of teachers to enable all students to flourish. Working with young people ensures that no two days are ever the same.
Oasis Academy John Williams is a secondary academy in Hengrove [South Bristol] which currently serves just over 880 young people. We are housed in a modern new build [new build opened in September 2010] with a host of subject specialist rooms and in December 2016 we further enhanced our facilities with a state of the art AstroTurf and tartan-running strip.
The Academy is part of the Oasis Bristol hub with has three secondary schools with two additional free schools due to open in the near future. Our last Ofsted inspection was in September 2017 where we were again judged to be a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ Leadership and Management.
Our student population is 84% White British, 16% SEND, 43% Disadvantaged and 32% FSM. We are proud to be the school of choice for so many in our local community and have been heavily over-subscribed for the past five years.
