• Contribute to a culture of inclusion where every student feels valued and supported

We are looking for someone who:

• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Can motivate, encourage and inspire students to succeed
• Is adaptable, solution-focused and able to respond to individual needs
• Understands the barriers that can affect attendance, behaviour and engagement
• Can work effectively as part of a team whilst using their own initiative
