About the Role - Humanities Teacher
Are you a passionate and dedicated Humanities Teacher looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to the lives of young people?
Vision for Education Brighton is recruiting a Humanities Teacher to work within a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in Horsham. This is a full-time position starting in January 2027, supporting students aged 11-16 who require additional support to engage successfully in education.
This specialist setting supports pupils who may have experienced barriers to learning, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, challenging behaviours, trauma, or disrupted educational journeys. The school is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment where every student is given the opportunity to succeed.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about inclusive education and wants to have a meaningful impact on young people who need positive role models and dedicated support.
About the Position
As a Humanities Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering engaging and accessible lessons across subjects such as History, Geography and Religious Education, adapting learning to meet the individual needs of your students.
Working within a PRU requires a teacher who is patient, resilient, adaptable and committed to building positive relationships. Success in this setting is often measured through engagement, confidence and personal development, alongside academic progress.
You will work closely with support staff, pastoral teams and senior leaders to create a safe and supportive learning environment where students can thrive both academically and emotionally.
Experience working with students with SEMH needs, challenging behaviour or within alternative provision would be highly beneficial. However, we would also welcome applications from qualified Humanities Teachers with strong behaviour management skills and a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable young people.
This role would suit someone who:
- Is passionate about supporting young people who face barriers to education
- Can deliver engaging Humanities lessons that inspire and motivate learners
- Has excellent behaviour management skills
- Builds positive and professional relationships with students
- Is patient, resilient and adaptable in their approach
- Enjoys working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team
- Wants to make a lasting difference to the lives of young people
About the School
This Horsham-based PRU provides education and support for students aged 11-16 who have been unable to access mainstream education due to a range of additional needs and circumstances.
The school prides itself on creating a positive and nurturing environment where students are supported to develop confidence, resilience and the skills required for future success.
Class sizes are smaller than in mainstream settings, allowing staff to build strong relationships with students and tailor learning to meet individual needs.
Requirements
To be considered for the role of Humanities Teacher, you will:
- Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a relevant teaching qualification
- Have experience teaching Humanities subjects at secondary level
- Have strong behaviour management skills
- Be confident supporting students with SEMH and behavioural needs
