PRU Teacher Pupil Referral Unit – Inner London MPS–UPS3 | Full Time | Temp to Perm January 2026 Teaching in a PRU is not just a jobnit’s a calling. Every day brings moments of challenge, growth, and genuine impact. You already understand that strong relationships are at the heart of teaching, but in a busy mainstream environment, it can be hard to give each child what they truly need. If you’re ready for a role where your presence, patience, and belief in young people genuinely change lives, this could be your next step. We are working alongside a dedicated Pupil Referral Unit offering specialist support for primary-aged pupils who have struggled to access mainstream education. These children may display heightened emotions, behavioural challenges, or have experienced instability that has shaped how they respond to school. What they need is a teacher who sees beyond the behaviour, someone who recognises their potential, their story, and their strengths. In this PRU, teaching feels different. Class sizes are small, allowing you to build meaningful, trusting relationships. Success is celebrated in many forms: improved self-regulation, a positive interaction, a moment of confidence, or small steps back towards a love of learning. Every child follows a personalised curriculum built around their needs, abilities, and emotional development. You may already have experience within SEMH or alternative provision. You might simply have the resilience, empathy, and creativity to work with young people who need a fresh start. What matters is your ability to remain calm, curious, and consistent and your commitment to understanding behaviour as a form of communication. This is a role for a teacher who refuses to give up, who can think outside the box, and who wants to be part of a team that transforms challenges into breakthroughs. If you’re ready to work in a setting where your impact is seen and felt every day, we would love to hear from you.

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 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.
