• A strong pastoral background with the ability to build positive relationships with young people.
• Excellent behaviour management and communication skills.
• A patient, empathetic and proactive approach.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

• Pension contributions.
• Access to free CPD through our Training Academy, including SEND, safeguarding and behaviour management courses.
