• Contribute to the wider PRU team and help drive positive engagement with learning

Essential Requirements:

• QTS or strong English teaching experience in a secondary or alternative provision setting
• Confidence teaching English Language and/or Literature at KS3–KS4
• Strong behaviour management skills, with a calm and patient approach
• Experience working with SEMH, PRU, or vulnerable learners (or willingness to learn)
• A proactive and compassionate attitude

Desirable:

• Experience specifically within a PRU or alternative provision
• Training or understanding of trauma-informed practice
• Flexibility to increase days if required

Why Join This PRU?

• Supportive, specialist team passionate about improving life chances
• Small class sizes allowing for meaningful student relationships
