University Graduate Assistant Teacher (Drama) 2027

• Bardwell Road, Oxford
• Application Deadline
• Monday, January 26, 2026
• Job Summary

• We are seeking to appoint a Graduate Assistant Teacher (Drama) to work with us for a fixed term period of two years commencing from 1 January 2027.

  The Dragon is a dynamic and exciting school. Everyone works very hard but enjoys the buzz of the place. The intense periods of work are compensated by the school holidays.

  The Assistant Teacher is part of a team supporting the day to day running of the School through assisting with supervision, patrolling, trips, sports and supporting the teachers in classrooms. These inevitably mean the Assistant Teacher is constantly in direct contact with the pupils.

  One of the attractions of the role is that there is not generally a set pattern to the day. The day is therefore very varied with varied duties.

Eleanor Rathbone Professor of Contemporary European History

Academic

Deadline: Monday 26 January 2026

The Faculty of History is seeking applications for the Eleanor Rathbone Professorship of Contemporary European History, available as soon as possible.

This new senior post is intended to reinforce Oxford’s reputation as a major centre for research and teaching in the field of Contemporary European History. We wish to appoint a historian who will extend the Faculty’s expertise into the history of the European present. We would welcome applications from scholars with expertise in the history of Europe from the 1970s onwards and who engage with the history of the European present in the early twenty-first century and the profound changes that have taken place in many areas of Europe over the last twenty-five years.

The Rathbone Professor will be based at St Antony’s College, where they will maintain and develop the legacy of the work and scholarship undertaken on the contemporary history of Europe by Professor Timothy Garton Ash. It is intended that the appointee will be an established scholar who will combine innovative scholarship and teaching with a wider profile of intellectual engagement. Their work should engage with the history of contemporary Europe as a whole, challenging conventional paradigms of east and west in the era of the Cold War. They will be expected to lead the growth of Contemporary European History within Oxford, including new teaching options on recent and current European history, funded grant applications, workshops, public events and outreach, broadly defined.

Applicants should possess an excellent record of innovative archival research using one or more European languages; a significant record of publications; the capacity to inspire others; and an ability to communicate the importance of history for an understanding of the contemporary identity of Europe.

For more information and to apply please visit the Oxford University jobs site. The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 26 January 2026. Interviews are expected to be held in spring 2026.

Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to Professor Martin Conway, Chair of the History Faculty Board (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk).

Looking for a Role that Fits Your Lifestyle? A Term-Time Education Role Might Be Perfect for You!

Are you looking for a fulfilling job that allows you to make a real difference in the lives of others? Join our team in Great Holm, Milton Keynes, where we’re expanding to support a growing number of students. No experience in education? Don't worry – we believe in your potential, and we’ll provide the training you need to succeed!

• Full-time (38 hours)
• 37 weeks per year contract
• Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development
• A chance to be part of a supportive and inclusive team that makes a real difference

As a Community Teaching Facilitator, you won’t be confined to the classroom. You’ll work with young people whose learning difficulties or autism make mainstream education less suitable for their needs. With a focus on individualised learning, you’ll teach essential life skills and provide lessons in literacy, numeracy, and ICT, all tailored to each student's unique needs.

One of the many rewarding stories we share is that of Amanda*. When Amanda started with us, she was being supported 2:1 at her previous school and had been excluded from group lessons. By creating a personalised communication system, we helped Amanda take control of her learning experience. This gave her confidence, reduced challenging behaviours, and allowed her to engage in group activities, eventually forming friendships with her peers. This is just one example of the impact you can have when you work with us.

At the heart of everything we do are our core values, and they shape the way we approach education and support. Our DNA includes:

• Ambition for ourselves and for each other– We’re committed to growing and developing as a team, always striving to be better for those we help.
• Everyone has a voice and is listened to– Whether you’re a student, a parent, or a team member, your voice matters.
• We keep on learning– In this role, you’ll be constantly learning and evolving to meet the needs of those we support.
• We want equality– We are committed to providing equal opportunities and support for every person we work with.
• Everyone feels safe and in control– We prioritise creating a safe, supportive environment where all can thrive.
• We value friends, family, and neighbourhoods– Strong communities are key to success, and we foster those connections every day.

Looking for a meaningful career where no two days are the same? Welcome to No Limits at MacIntyre.

At MacIntyre, we don’t just offer jobs — we offer opportunities to change lives. If you've ever imagined working in education but outside the confines of a traditional classroom, this could be your perfect next step.

No Limits is our innovative education programme for young people aged 16+ with learning disabilities and/or autism. Together, we explore real-world learning — in the community, in work placements, and through personalised support that adapts to each young person’s interests and needs.

In this role, you’ll support young people on their journey to independence. You’ll help them build confidence, develop essential life skills, and discover their own unique path into adulthood.

You might be supporting someone like Harriet*:

Harriet found the classroom overwhelming. With social anxiety and a speech impediment, she often felt unheard and unsupported. When Harriet joined No Limits, we worked closely with her to understand her communication style, introduce assistive technology, and empower her to make choices in her day-to-day life. Now, she’s confidently ordering her own food in cafés and is thriving at college with support from the MacIntyre team.

What we’re looking for:

We’re not looking for formal teaching experience — we’ll provide full training. What really matters is who you are:

• Are you warm, energetic and curious about people?

• Can you see potential where others see challenge?

• Do you believe in listening first, then acting with empathy and creativity?

If yes, you’re already speaking our language.

You’ll need a full UK manual driving licence, as travel is an essential part of the role.

Why join us?

• A role with

  real variety— every day brings something new

• The chance to work 1:1 or in small groups with young people in their own communities

• Ongoing training and development in a

  supportive, values-led organisation

• The opportunity to be part of a team that puts

  relationships and respectat the heart of everything we do

This is more than a job. It’s a chance to be someone who makes a difference, helping young people grow in confidence, build independence, and feel proud of who they are.

If you're ready to start a career where you matter as much as the people you support, we’d love to hear from you.
