Job description
SECONDARY PRU TEACHER
Location: Tower Hamlets
Pay: £150–£250 per day
Contract: Full-Time
Start Date: Immediate
A Different Kind of Classroom. A Different Kind of Teacher.
In the heart of an alternative provision sits a space where every day is unpredictable, every student is unique, and every lesson matters. This is not mainstream. This is a place where relationships come first, trust takes time, and progress—no matter how small—means everything.
This is where we need a Secondary PRU Teacher who can see beyond behaviour, beyond barriers, and into the potential that lies underneath.
The Role
As a Secondary PRU Teacher, you’ll be working with KS3–KS4 learners who require structure, patience, and firm but steady guidance. You will:
-
Plan flexible, personalised lessons that meet varied learning needs.
-
Use emotional intelligence and trauma-informed strategies to support behaviour.
-
Build consistency and routine that help learners reconnect with education.
-
Collaborate with mentors, counsellors, and safeguarding teams.
-
Celebrate progress made in steps—not leaps.
Your role as a Secondary PRU Teacher is not just instructional—it is stabilising, grounding, and transformative.
What We’re Looking For
To thrive as a Secondary PRU Teacher, you’ll need:
-
QTS or equivalent.
-
Experience in PRUs, SEMH, behaviour units, or alternative provision (ideal).
-
Strong behaviour management rooted in empathy, boundaries, and calm leadership.
-
Resilience, patience, and a reflective mindset.
-
Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply).
We are seeking a Secondary PRU Teacher who brings heart as well as skill.
What You’ll Gain
Working as a Secondary PRU Teacher here offers you:
-
A supportive, tight-knit team who genuinely value wellbeing.
-
Growth opportunities and specialist training in SEMH and alternative provision.
-
Space to teach creatively and adaptively, without rigid constraints.
-
The chance to see real-life change happen in front of you.
Safeguarding Note
This role requires a strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection. All applicants must complete full vetting checks, including an Enhanced DBS registered on the update service (or willingness to apply).
