Do you have the resilience, personality and classroom presence to engage young people who have struggled to succeed in mainstream education? We are working with a PRU in Barking seeking a confident Science Teacher to join their team on a long-term basis. This is not a typical classroom environment. The successful teacher will need to combine strong subject knowledge with excellent relationship-building and behaviour management, helping pupils re-engage with learning and recognise their own potential.
The Role
- Teaching Science to KS3/KS4 pupils
- Planning engaging lessons suited to a PRU environment
- Breaking down complex scientific concepts into accessible learning
- Adapting teaching to different abilities and learning needs
- Supporting pupils with SEMH and behavioural needs
- Establishing clear routines and positive expectations
- Managing challenging behaviour confidently and consistently
- Providing encouragement and helping pupils rebuild confidence
- Tracking progress and contributing to individual learning goals
- Working closely with TAs, pastoral staff and SLT
We're Looking For
The ideal candidate will be a qualified Science Teacher with a genuine interest in Alternative Provision. You don't necessarily need extensive PRU experience; we're more interested in someone with the right personality, resilience and mindset who can establish positive relationships without lowering expectations. Experience of PRU, AP, SEMH or SEN teaching would be highly desirable.
If you're looking for a long-term PRU position where relationships, engagement and progress genuinely matter, we'd like to hear from you.
