Previous experience is not essential as full training will be given. However, the ideal candidate is likely to have good general knowledge, be able to demonstrate the ability to engage students in learning, be confident applying the school's policies in a firm and fair manner and be an excellent communicator and role model.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Appointments will be subject to references and enhanced DBS checks.
