The Role - PRU Teaching Assistant
We’re looking for a proactive and empathetic PRU Teaching Assistant to join a supportive PRU in Greenwich. This role involves working closely with students aged 11-19 who have been referred due to behavioural challenges, trauma, or unmet learning needs in mainstream settings.

As a PRU Teaching Assistant, you will provide focused 1:1 support and work with small groups to help students manage their behaviour, re-engage with learning, and build confidence. The ideal candidate will have experience supporting young people with SEMH, ADHD, trauma-related behaviour, and additional educational or medical needs.

Your ability to remain calm, consistent, and nurturing will be key in helping students succeed in this alternative provision setting.

The School - Pupil Referral Unit in Greenwich
This PRU supports a diverse cohort of students aged 11-19, many of whom have experienced significant barriers to learning, including trauma, SEN, and emotional difficulties. The provision offers a structured and therapeutic environment with a flexible, personalised curriculum designed to close learning gaps and promote reintegration or progression to further education.

Staff work closely with students to build trust, resilience, and independence, supported by a strong pastoral team and clear career pathways. The school is committed to equity, inclusion, and student voice, with leadership opportunities and enrichment activities embedded into the curriculum.
