TUITION, MEDICAL & BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT SERVICE

Tuition, Medical & Behaviour Support Service (Pupil Referral Unit) provides education, based at six Education Centres, for pupils who, by reason of illness, exclusion or otherwise, are being educated out of school. The Service caters for pupils in KS1 to KS4 who have a wide range of needs and were rated 'Good' by Ofsted in our Inspection in October 2023. It also provides teaching provision in two hospitals in Shropshire, The Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry and The Princess Royal Hospital, Telford, individual teaching, and shared placement provision for pupils in mainstream schools. Children are referred via a multi-agency panel. The main work of the Service is to include and reintegrate into the child's original or another mainstream school where possible or work towards a suitable long-term placement.

At the heart of TMBSS lies a belief that all pupils should leave as confident young people who are 'world ready'. Inspirational leaders, caring staff and well-planned support combine to provide the right support at the right time.

Relationships are a strength at TMBSS. Some pupils believe education is not for them before starting here. However, at TMBSS, they quickly become settled and happy to learn, knowing they are cared for and that support is available.

We are looking to appoint an inspirational, qualified teacher to work for TMBSS based in one of our hospital provisions on the children's ward at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Although well-supported as part of the TMBSS team, the teacher works independently in the hospital setting.

TMBSS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and as such, all applicants who are appointed to this post will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and appropriate pre-employment checks before the appointment is confirmed.

Enthusiastic teachers of any subject are welcome to apply and join the team.
