English Teacher

Christchurch Learning Centre is seeking to appoint

an outstanding teacher to further enhance our ability to deliver English to

GCSE level, commencing the Autumn term 2026.

Christchurch Learning Centre is a growing maintained

Pupil Referral Unit that offers support and educational packages for those

pupils that are unable to sustain a place at a mainstream school. The Centre works in partnership with a number

of schools and outside agencies with a goal to returning pupils back to their

mainstream setting, where appropriate.

Pupils study a full range of National Curriculum subjects to GCSE level,

in addition to an adapted PE and PSHE curriculum.

Applicants need to be experienced in working with

children with SEMH and SEND, they need to be flexible and adaptable as

timetables and support can change at short notice to address the needs of the

pupils. All staff participate in pastoral

responsibilities and wider school strategies of support. The position can be demanding but extremely

rewarding for an able, motivated and experienced teacher. This is a challenging and exciting

opportunity for a qualified teacher to work in a PRU as part of a committed

team, helping to develop the learning, behaviour and social skills of young

people in BCP. Successful applicants

will be delivering English predominantly at all levels up to GCSE, to pupils

with a range of needs including emotional and behavioural difficulties at KS3

& 4. Further training will be offered as required.

The successful applicant will be required to produce

appropriate planning and track pupil progress against national

expectations. Strong organisation, class

and behaviour management skills are essential.

They will support pupils in the Centre predominantly, but may be

required to teach at other approved venues as directed by senior leaders. Applicants will therefore require a full

driving license and a suitably insured vehicle.

The Centre values the diversity of our workforce and

welcomes applicants from all sectors of the community. The Centre is also committed to safeguarding

and promoting the welfare of children and young people; this is a commitment

which we expect all staff and volunteers to share. The successful candidate will be required to

have an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with the

Government safer recruitment guidelines.
