A secondary pupil referral unit in Manchester are looking for a full-time teacher to take on a position in which multiple subjects will need to be taught.

• Be flexible with your work style and work in a way that is best for each student.

• Have a team teach qualification/equivalent qualification or be willing to undertake this during your time at the school.
• Be confident in working and supporting students independently.
• Be able to work alongside support staff to provide a comprehensive learning experience for students.
