- A calm, nurturing approach with clear supportive boundaries, inspiring trust and a sense of safety in students.
- Appreciation of the challenges many young people face including special educational needs and disabilities and social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

- The ability to work proactively and flexibly in an ever-changing environment.
