At Watling Academy, we believe in the transformative power of education and we're dedicated to fostering an environment where students can learn and grow effectively. As a valued and highly visible member of our team, you'll embody our core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Kindness (RRK) and be dedicated to encouraging students to embrace these values, rewarding their positive behaviour and providing support to those who need it.

You should have the ability to de-escalate situations, problem-solve and resolve conflicts effectively, while maintaining composure under pressure. A genuine dedication to the well-being and success of children is essential, along with being a positive, enthusiastic team player who communicates with clarity and gravitas.
As part of your role as RRK Ambassador, you will:
- Be a visible presence around the school building, guiding students towards RRK excellence.
- Forge productive relationships across the school, promoting a positive culture.
- Help maintain a safe, clean and inspiring learning environment for all.
- Act as a first responder in situations requiring first aid, safeguarding the well-being of our school community.
