• A strong team player with excellent communication skills

• Flexible and willing to contribute to the wider life of the School

• Passionate about sport, education, pastoral care or working with young people

Previous experience of working with children or young people would be advantageous, but enthusiasm, character and a willingness to learn are equally important.
