You’ll be joining a small staff team of 9, supplemented by a vibrant and committed group of volunteers.
Attendance at approximately 8-10 five-six night residential projects per year outside London is a core component of this role. A full driving licence is not required but may be an advantage.

A basic level of comfortableness in the outdoors, resilience to keep going with a smile when it's wet outside, and the silliness to be the first to jump into the lake will see you in good stead for this role.

Ideally, you’ll also have experience of leading projects for children – whether residential or non-residential.

Primary Teacher with Therapeutic Experience - Oasis Nurture – Oasis St Martin’s Village
Part Time – 2 or 3 days a week – Permanent Term Time Contract
Working Pattern: Either Monday, Thursday and Friday or two of those days: 8-4pm
Salary: £55,184 including London Weighting and pro-rated for term-time.
Oasis St Martin’s Village
Oasis St Martins Village is part of Oasis which is a group of organisations, committed to building stronger communities. Oasis St Martin’s Village, based in Tulse Hill, is a new and exciting project, working in partnership with other organisations in an integrated way, to provide opportunity and pathways for children and young people.
The vision of the Village is to transform the life-chances of children, who are struggling in or not coping with mainstream education, by offering them and their families support and opportunity.
Our work is based around the principle that “it takes a village to raise a child”.
Oasis Nurture
Oasis Nurture is a project that is carried out on the Village. It is a therapeutic intervention designed specifically for those children who might be described as the missing middle – those who do not meet the threshold for an ECHP but who nevertheless struggle to engage with the curriculum for a variety of reasons.
Oasis Nurture is in its pilot phase, working with four local schools, offering a two day a week intervention to a small group of children.
As a Teacher, you will be working with a maximum of six children supported by a key worker and a therapeutic practitioner. You will work alongside a therapeutic lead and a clinical lead.
In this role you will be:
· Working with the home school and parents/carers to understand the children’s needs and developing agreed goals for learning and emotional and social development
· Developing a basic curriculum for Key Stage 2 children for numeracy and literacy, related to their stage learning at their home school, so that they don’t fall behind.
· Providing a personalised, bespoke and restorative approach for each individual child to help address their challenges and fulfil their potential.
· Maintaining clear and accurate records for individual children on the designated online systems and reporting back to the home school and parents/carers on the agreed goals
· You will also be working with the Therapeutic Lead to provide opportunities for mindful therapeutic care to remove barriers to learning and provide emotional support to access the curriculum. While this role requires primary teaching experience it also requires someone who has experience of working in trauma responsive ways and understands the therapeutic needs of children who struggle to engage.
Oasis Nurture is not an Alternative Provision; it is a part time intervention designed to support local schools and children and their families. Oasis Nurture is not a statutory provision and does not therefore follow teachers’ pay and conditions. Oasis offers all the usual employment benefits including sick pay and pension.
As this is a newly created role, you will expect some evolution of the role as a result of the development of the project, your insightful input and our combined learning. At the same time, the role provides incredible opportunities for the right person.
To apply, please send your CV and a Supporting Statement (no more than two A4 pages) via Charity Jobs or see our website for details.
Please expand on your CV to tell us about relevant skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate to the job description and person specification.
We will review applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the advert if we identify suitable candidates. To avoid disappointment, please submit your application as soon as possible.
If successful you will be invited to a formal interview. We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers during the recruitment process, please let us know.
Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
The successful candidates must have the right to work in the UK. Oasis cannot assist with sponsorship or visas.

About MDSC
Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre (MDSC) exists to ensure that people affected by muscle-wasting conditions are not just supported, but heard, connected and empowered. We are a growing, values-led charity rooted in lived experience, community connection and practical impact.
This role sits at the heart of that mission.
The Role
This is not a tick-box participation post.
As our Service User Participation Worker, you’ll make sure service-user voice actively shapes our culture, communications and service design. You’ll build community connection, run meaningful participation activities, and capture powerful lived-experience insight that directly influences decision-making, storytelling and strategy.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across communications, therapy, fundraising and leadership — translating real experiences into real change.
What You’ll Be Doing
Building community & connection
- Designing and delivering inclusive activities, groups and events
- Creating both in-person and digital opportunities for peer support
- Supporting service users to become ambassadors and contributors
Leading meaningful participation
- Developing and embedding a clear participation and co-production model
- Facilitating forums, feedback sessions and co-production activities
- Making sure insight feeds directly into communications and service improvement
Capturing lived experience
- Safely and ethically collecting stories, feedback and content
- Working with the Communications team to create authentic, non-tokenistic content
- Ensuring consent, safeguarding and dignity are always front and centre
Advocacy & individual voice
- Supporting service users to share experiences and influence decisions
- Acting as a trusted point of contact
- Escalating safeguarding concerns where appropriate
Learning & impact
- Tracking engagement and participation outcomes
- Producing insight summaries and reports
- Closing the loop — showing people how their voice leads to change
About You
You’ll be organised, empathetic and confident working with people from all walks of life. You’re comfortable facilitating groups, handling sensitive information and balancing structure with warmth. You believe participation should be meaningful, not performative.
Experience of working with disabled people, health settings, charities or co-production models is an advantage — but mindset matters just as much as background.
What We Offer
- A role with genuine influence and visibility
- A supportive, values-driven team
- Strong commitment to training and development
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Pension contribution
- Generous annual leave (pro rata)
Safeguarding
This role is subject to a probationary period and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
