We are currently recruiting for a PE Teaching Assistant to work in one of our local schools in Poole, Dorset. The school is a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) which provides education for those pupils who have Social Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH) which prevent them from accessing their mainstream place or they have been permanently excluded from mainstream school due to various reasons.

The majority of students who attend the centre are still on the roll of mainstream schools and are dual registered. The centre also caters for students who have been permanently excluded from a mainstream school, individuals with medical conditions that prevent attendance at mainstream schools and a few pupils without access to regular education, such as those belonging to traveller families. A number of students are admitted with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and a few are in the care of the local authority.
