The PICU is a new service which will provide mental health care and treatment for pupils who need a secure environment whilst they recover.  You willbe responsible for providing teaching mostly at KS3, KS4 and KS5, offering a core curriculum subject.  Flexibility to teach additional subjects is also required.  For these vulnerable pupils the aim will be to prepare them to return to education in one of the open psychiatric wards and eventually to their school or college.  We require an inspirational teacher who:
