PRU TA
Location Barking & Dagenham
Pay £85-£100 per day (PAYE)
Can you think of a time when you needed someone to truly see past your behaviour and understand what you were going through?
For many young people in Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), their actions don’t always reflect their true potential - they are a response to challenges, frustrations, and feeling unheard. PRUs provide a vital opportunity for these students to rebuild their confidence, re-engage with learning, and feel genuinely valued. With the right support, they can overcome barriers and thrive.
Why work in a PRU?
Smaller class sizes allow for stronger relationships and a more personalised approach to learning
A bespoke curriculum tailored to individual needs, helping students rediscover a love for education
A therapeutic and trauma-informed approach to behaviour, focusing on support and understanding rather than punishment
A school culture that prioritises emotional well-being, ensuring students feel safe and supported
The chance to make a tangible impact, helping young people regain confidence in their future
Why work with Parker Smith Inclusion?
Access to CPD to enhance your skills and career prospects
PAYE payments – no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
Exclusive access to alternative education roles, ensuring we find the best fit for you
A knowledgeable and supportive team that truly understands the challenges and rewards of this sector
PRUs are not just about education - they are about giving students the opportunity to reset, refocus, and build a brighter future. If you're passionate about making a difference and want to explore opportunities in alternative education, I’d love to chat.
Call 02030114848 and ask for Elisha, or email elisha@psinclusion.co.uk to find out more.

SEN Teacher
Havering
North East London
MPS/UPS + SEN POINT
SEN Teacher – A role that will reignite your passion for teaching
London Borough of Havering
Permanent - September start
£36,000 - £54,000 + SEN POINT
Some teaching roles give you little more than a timetable and a list of expectations. Others give you purpose, support, and the resources to make a lasting impact.
This is one of those roles.
A highly respected SEN school in Havering is looking for a skilled and passionate teacher to join their team on a permanent contract. If you feel like your current role isn’t allowing you to teach in the way you know works best, this is your opportunity to step into a school where your expertise will be valued and your work will truly change lives.
A School That Works for You, So You Can Work for Them
From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll notice the difference. This isn’t a school where SEN is an afterthought, it is woven into the very fabric of the environment. Thoughtfully designed spaces, specialist facilities, and a well-supported team mean you can focus on what you do best: teaching in a way that reaches every child.
You won’t be left to navigate challenges alone. Leadership is proactive, present, and invested in both staff and students. The focus isn’t just on outcomes, but on genuine progress for the children and for you.
Who This Role is For
A teacher who thrives in SEN settings and understands that behaviour is communication.
Someone creative, resilient, and adaptable in their teaching approach.
A professional who wants to work in an environment where their expertise is recognised and supported.
What You’ll Find Here
Excellent SEN resources that allow you to teach without limitations.
A strong, experienced team that values collaboration and professional growth.
A leadership team that listens, supports, and invests in its staff.
This is a school where teachers stay because they are respected, empowered, and given the tools they need to succeed.
If you’re looking for more than just a job title - if you want to teach purposefully, in a school that understands what outstanding SEN education looks like - this is your role.
