* Confident and comfortable leading a classroom.

* Passionate about supporting young people and their education.

* Calm, patient and able to manage challenging behaviour effectively.

* Organised, reliable and professional.

* An excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.

* Able to work independently while also being a committed member of a team.

* Ideally experienced in a school, youth work or education setting, although applications from candidates with transferable experience are welcome.
