The successful candidate will be expected to plan and deliver the National Curriculum: primary curriculum, as well as delivering specific programmes aimed at developing the social and emotional skills of the pupils within the Pupil Referral Unit. The successful candidates will need a high level of resilience and a commitment to working as a team to support vulnerable children.
