- Able to motivate and inspire students and staff to achieve their full potential
- Energetic and have a can-do attitude
- Confident and has strong career aspirations
- Committed to safeguarding and the happiness and well-being of everyone at the school
- Prepared to be involved in leading co-curricular activities either within or outside of their teaching subject
