We see the needs of all our pupils as centring on their capacity to learn and make progress and seek to address the barriers to success that they face. We have provision in 5 centres across the city and commission further placements with Alternative Providers in a wide variety of settings.
All staff at the PRU are expected to be flexible about where in Manchester they are based and may be asked to work at any of our centres across the city. This post will initially be based at Mersey Valley Centre and Richmond Park Centre in Longsight.
