* Have strong communication and relationship-building skills.
* Are reliable, enthusiastic and able to work effectively as part of a team.
* Have a genuine passion for helping children develop academically, socially and emotionally.
Experience within a school is desirable; however, we are also interested in candidates from backgrounds such as youth work, mentoring, sports coaching, care, psychology and other child-focused roles.
