You will need to have a range of teaching styles and experience in teaching students who may have barriers to learning. Your educational philosophy will need to be based in trauma informed and emotion coaching and be a relational minded person who wants to make a difference to our students lives. You will work closely with BPRU’s Senior Leadership Team, to shape and deliver the mission, vision and values of our school. You will be an excellent practitioner who has a very good understanding of SEND and experience of working with students who have been or are at risk of being permanently excluded from secondary school education.
