What skills and experience we're looking for

Christchurch Learning Centre is seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher to further enhance our ability to deliver Maths 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 Maths 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.

What the school offers its staff

We're committed to supporting our people beyond their day-to-day work. Our benefits package includes an Employee Assistance Programme offering confidential support for personal and professional challenges—from mental health and financial guidance to legal advice. Employees also have access to our rewards platform, where you can enjoy exclusive discounts, recognition from colleagues, and perks that make a real difference. Together, these benefits reflect our investment in your wellbeing and success, both at work and at home.

Flexible working opportunities

Flexible working arrangements, including remote working, may be used for Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time where appropriate and agreed.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.
