• Promoting and modelling the Academy’s Christian values and safeguarding the welfare of all students.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with young people, thrives as part of a team and can demonstrate initiative and empathy. You will need excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to remain calm and professional in challenging situations.

• Has experience of supporting children’s learning in a school setting.
