This includes:

* Online training delivered via Microsoft Teams by a former Headteacher

Essential requirements include:

* A confident and engaging personality

* Strong communication and behaviour management skills

* The ability to work with students aged 11–16

* A commitment to safeguarding, including an Enhanced DBS check

Although not essential, the ability to drive is advantageous, as it allows you to work across multiple school locations.
