About the Role

Have you ever considered working within a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit)?

PRU's are specialist provisions that provide education for students who are unable to access mainstream settings, they have a dedicated team that focus on the unique needs of each child, providing tailored lessons that help them succeed.

PRU's are not just a place for students to be educated but also feel nurtured and safe. The students may feel let down by the education system and as the trust builds so does the chance for progression in learning.

PRU's prioritise emotional well-being, offering a safe space for students to grow, learn, and build confidence. The smaller class sizes allow for strong meaningful relationships to develop between students and staff , and allow for all students to feel heard and supported.

PRU's provide a bespoke curriculum catering to each students needs, this helps to engage students and encourage them to develop a love for learning.

PRU's understand behaviour and focus on not just managing the behaviour but understanding why it occurs. Using a therapeutic and trauma informed approach, and helping student to re-regulate and discuss the frustrations they are feeling without judgement.

If a PRU feels like somewhere you can thrive in your career, or if you would like to discuss other opportunities in alternative settings, please contact me on 02030114848 and ask to speak to Elise, or email me on elise.harnwell@psinclusion.co.uk and we can discuss how I can help you.
