We wish to recruit someone with a sound knowledge of the different challenges and barriers many children face, who is unshakeable in their desire to achieve the best possible outcomes for our pupils.

A collaborative approach to working, and one who is able to bring their team with them.
Great communication skills, and able to work successfully with the leadership team, staff, pupils, families and outside agencies.

Believes in them;
Is happy, kind, helpful, trustworthy and fair;
