Form of work
SalaryElementa are supporting this PRU to appoint an experienced PRU teacher to work with secondary aged children, ages 10-16. The role will involve working with small groups of students, delivering their education and supporting them through issues they face in their personal lives. This is a well run PRU with long-serving staff that offer stability and vital support for the learners. This is a short-term role to cover teacher absence due to sickness.
The particular group of students are primary-aged. If you are a (general) PRU Teacher, or a teacher with previous experience of working with children that display challenging behaviours then we'd love to hear from you.
Essential criteria:
- previous experience of working with young people that display challenging behaviour
- experience in leading education for groups of children
- available full time for the full contract dates
The ideal candidate for this role will be a qualified PRU teacher with UK QTS. The school are however open to considering someone with significant experience in leading/delivering education provided you also have the ability to confidently deliver cookery as part of the role.
Naturally, working at a specialist setting for SEMH will involve working with the more challenging learners so resilience, a sense of humour, empathy and the desire to motivate learners whatever their background or ability will be key to being successful in this role.
As a person, the right applicant will be:
- experienced at working with learners that frequently display challenging behaviour
- resilient, positive natured and maintain composure when working in challenging situations
- be committed, empathetic and passionate about providing the best opportunity for the learners
- have a strong work ethic with a professional approach
