You will need significant experience in building positive and trusting relationships with young people and be able to use a range of strategies to manage challenging behaviour and difficult situations, as well as the skills and confidence to communicate effectively with large audiences. You will also be an inspirational leader of others, able to enthuse and engage colleagues in a shared vision for, and culture of, improving achievement and also challenge and support colleagues appropriately.
