• Manage behaviour effectively and promote positive engagement with learning.
• Build strong relationships with pupils who may present with challenging behaviour and complex social, emotional, or mental health needs.

Essential Criteria:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) preferred, but relevant experience is acceptable.
• Proven experience teaching English at secondary level (KS3/4).
