Tradewind are currently recruiting for a Science Teacher for a Pupil Referral Unit in Sutton, South West London. The role is full time and will start immediately on a long-term basis for the full academic year at least, until July 2021 and will most likely become permanent for the right candidate.



The school is an Outstanding Ofsted rated school providing for secondary students who have struggled in mainstream school environments due to a number of factors including SEN, behavioural challenges and or difficult backgrounds and home lives. Students can often have an EHCP (education health and care plan), differentiated lessons to meet their needs and also have access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), speech and language therapy and education psychologists.



Essential requirements:

● QTS, qualified teacher status.

● Experience teaching young people with behavioural difficulties in a PRU or AP (alternative provision).

● Experience or training with positive handling, Team Teach, MAPA or other similar restraint training.

● Experience supporting students with SEN, SEMH and or SEBD.

● Positive and friendly approach.

● A caring and professional manner, willing to support with the social and academic improvement of pupils.

● Must have legal right to work in the UK.



The students who attend are at risk of failure so the school focusses on helping overcome barriers to learning, teaching them the skills to be successful, and improving their communication, behaviour or other aspects of their learning.



Staff here should be unfazed by challenging behaviour or outbursts of bad language. You will need to be passionate about supporting all students, regardless of ability. The class sizes are much smaller than in mainstream schools (up to 8 students) so they can offer intensive levels of support. Roles such as these are challenging but can also be incredibly rewarding. The school is extremely supportive of all staff who work there.



The school is within walking distance from 2 tube stations and 2 train lines and is easily accessible by a number of bus routes.
