Primary Teacher - PRU

County: North East London
Job type: Contract
Salary/Rate: Teacher Pay Scale Inner London M1-UPS
Primary Teacher - PRU Pupil Referral Unit - Primary Provison MPS–UPS3 Inner London | Full time | Temp to Perm Working as a primary school teacher, your days will be filled with purpose. You already know that relationships matter. Creating a place where children can thrive requires patience, understanding, and dedication. Yet, reaching those who need the most support in a mainstream classroom often feels impossible. You’re stretched too thin, and you may be starting to lose sight of the reason you became a teacher. Perhaps it’s time for a role where your impact can be truly felt. We are working with a Pupil Referral Unit, supporting children in their primary provision who have found mainstream education overwhelming, unsuitable, or emotionally unsafe. They need compassionate, grounded, and resilient teachers who see past behaviour to the child underneath. Here, small class sizes allow meaningful relationships to flourish. Success is measured not just in academic progress, but in trust built, confidence restored, and milestones celebrated. Every child receives a curriculum tailored to their individual strengths, challenges, and emotional needs. You may already have experience working with SEMH pupils. You may simply have the heart for it. What matters is your calm, curiosity, flexibility, and belief that every child can thrive when they feel safe. This is a role for teachers who understand behaviour as communication, work creatively, and are ready to join a team that refuses to give up on its pupils. If you are ready to be challenged, to grow, and to make a real difference in children’s lives, we would love to hear from you.

Primary Autism Specialist Teacher

County: North West London
Job type: Permanent
Salary/Rate: £50,000 - £55,000 depending on experience
Primary Autism Specialist Teacher Ealing, West London £50,000 – £55,000 per annum Full-time (term time only) End of January 2026 start Interviews ASAP There are some roles where you instinctively know the real work happens long before the classroom doors open. This is one of them. A specialist service in West London is looking for an experienced Primary Autism Specialist Teacher to support a small group of primary-aged pupils as they prepare to transition into a new, highly individualised learning environment. These pupils have a range of Autism profiles, including verbal, pre-verbal, and non-verbal presentations, as well as more complex presentations. They will rely heavily on consistent relationships, calm communication, and careful planning as they transition into their new setting. Your work will start in the community, not the classroom: home visits, transition sessions, and building enough trust that September feels safe rather than overwhelming. If you are grounded, flexible, and genuinely motivated by long-term, relational work with autistic pupils, this could be a career-defining role. The Structure You will work within a therapeutic, collaborative model: 1 Specialist Teacher & 3 Teaching Assistants A friendly and supportive team, mirroring an outreach-style approach where modelling, shared practice, and consistency matter more than hierarchy. Everyone leads from the front. Everyone supports each other. Some personal or intimate care may be required on an occasional basis. Pupils’ needs come first, and the team works together to ensure this is handled with dignity and care. What You Will Be Doing No two days look the same, but your work may include: Visiting pupils in their homes during the first 2 months of the transition period Supporting autistic pupils who are verbal, pre-verbal, non-verbal, or have complex communication needs Working closely with one particularly complex pupil who may attach to you Leading and modelling practice for your support team Planning and shaping routines, sensory approaches, and learning structures Embedding therapeutic, low-arousal practice in every part of the day This is a role for someone who is energised by the process of building something, not just maintaining it. Who This Role Suits You will thrive here if you are: Must have QTS or QTLS Confident and experienced in working with autistic pupils across the communication spectrum Comfortable responding to dysregulation, anxiety, and behaviours that can initially present as antisocial Flexible enough to manage home visits, transitions, and varied locations Resilient, reflective, and steady when the day shifts unexpectedly Interested in shaping a new team and structure rather than stepping into something pre-built Open to leadership with middle-lead pathways available from next September Experience in Primary SEND settings is highly beneficial. If you are interested in this Autism Specialist Teacher position, apply now or contact Heeji Moon at Parker Smith Inclusion.

Business and Finance Manager, Special Needs School in Surrey

At the start of the year, we had a real issue with a large number of Teaching Assistant vacancies (12 vacancies) and a high level of sickness absence. I was tasked with engaging in widening our search for new agencies and sourcing better quality candidates to work with our rather unique learners. I made contact with Parker Smith Inclusion in 2023 and was introduced to Heeji Moon, London Team Manager. Heeji was very knowledgeable about the current market and was confident she could assist in sourcing some suitable candidates. Heeji came to visit the school that very day to get a real flavour of the school, and she spent time in the classrooms, spoke to teachers and met some of our young people. She had a tour of the school and ascertained all local transport links, access to the school, security, parking facilities etc. With this information, Heeji not only managed to sell our school to potential candidates but also secured very suitable candidates. We have had every staff provided by Parker Smith Inclusion and some of which have shifted over to become permanent. The company’s vetting system is very clear, effective and seems quicker than other agents we have engaged with. I have found their rates very competitive; the company ethos is ethical and transparent, and they have been a pleasure to work with. Business and Finance Manager at Special Needs School in Surrey

Andrew, Teacher

Super positivity, and quick responses. After dealing with some less caring companies, where you receive little support and feedback, it was a refreshing change to deal with Parker Smith Inclusion. Caitlin was both extremely helpful and contagiously excited about finding the right position for me. Give them a ring, and see how a recruitment company should work.

Imara - Kai, Teacher

I worked with Parker Smith Inclusion to find a work placement. The staff are friendly and thorough, going above and beyond to support and assist. I worked directly with Elise. After passing the relevant information, she had my professional profile ready to be sent out in less than 24 hours and got my placement in less than a week. I’m ecstatic with the outcome and grateful to the team for their help.
