- Fully comply with all school policies, particularly those related to safety and safeguarding.
Candidate Profile
- Essential: Proven confidence and authority to successfully manage and supervise large groups of secondary students (11-16 years old).
- Essential: A strong background in leading groups, demonstrating effective behaviour management and communication skills (e.g., gained through teaching support, sports coaching, or youth leadership).
- Preferred: A degree qualification or strong academic profile, beneficial for supervising diverse subjects.
- Highly reliable, punctual, organised, and capable of adapting quickly to daily changes in the timetable.
