💥 Ready to Be the Positive Male Role Model a Young Person Needs?

This isn't a typical classroom role.

This is about impact. Presence. Consistency. Mentorship.

We're recruiting for a specialist Secondary PRU provision supporting students aged 11-16 who require additional behavioural, emotional, and social support.

Many of the young people benefit hugely from strong, calm, and consistent male role models — someone who can build trust, set boundaries, and support them to re-engage with education.

• Specialist alternative provision for secondary-aged students
• Small class sizes with high staff-to-student ratios
• Structured behaviour frameworks and clear routines
• Strong pastoral and therapeutic support
• Focus on re‑engagement, life skills, and emotional development
• Vocational and practical learning opportunities

The environment is structured, supportive, and focused on helping students regulate, rebuild confidence, and achieve positive outcomes.

This is not mainstream — and that's what makes it powerful.

• Full induction and behaviour training
• Ongoing CPD and safeguarding training
• Clear support from senior leadership
• Team‑based approach to behaviour management
• Opportunities to progress within SEN and alternative provision

The leadership team prioritise staff wellbeing and professional development.

• Supporting students 1:1 and in small groups
• Acting as a consistent, positive male role model
• Supporting emotional regulation and behaviour strategies
• De‑escalating challenging situations calmly and professionally
• Encouraging engagement in lessons and vocational activities
• Promoting accountability, respect, and independence
• Supporting during transitions, break times, and off‑site activities

This role requires confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence.

You will build real relationships — and see real change.

You do not need previous school experience.

However, you must have:

• Strong presence and calm authority
• Emotional resilience
• Confidence managing behaviour
• A genuine interest in supporting vulnerable young people
• The ability to set firm but fair boundaries

• Youth work
• Sports coaching
• Mentoring
• Behaviour support
• Care or support work

are highly valued.

The right personality matters more than direct classroom experience.

• ✨ Temp to Perm, stable role
• ✨ Term‑time only hours
• ✨ Supportive senior leadership
• ✨ Clear behaviour systems in place
• ✨ Ongoing development opportunities
• ✨ A role where you can genuinely change a young person's trajectory

If you're someone who can lead with calm confidence, build trust, and provide the consistency these young people need —
