Permanent

Required immediately

We are looking to appoint an experienced and dedicated teacher who has the ability to teach both primary and secondary aged pupils (including those with social, emotional and mental health conditions) to work at New River College Medical PRU. 

The post holders will need to be confident and effective teachers who can deliver exciting and fun lessons. We are looking for teachers who relish a challenge, who want to try new ideas and who genuinely want to contribute to the lives of young people with drive and passion. Ability to engage children with SEN is more important than the phase you are used to teaching so both primary and secondary trained teachers are encouraged to apply.

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical), for pupils with social, emotional and mental health challenges (SEMH). We are a trauma informed school, and this is at the centre of all we do with young people. We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEMH or medical needs.   

New River College Medical is split across three sites, in the School, at the Whittington Hospital and in pupils home and/or local community so a willingness to teach on multiple sites is essential. In addition, the post holder will be expected to teach at least two subjects linked to their main subject area.
