  • Use your expertise to promote a therapeutic approach to behaviour and emotional wellbeing
  • Collaborate with staff, parents and external professionals to ensure the best outcomes for students
  • Manage and support staff teams, fostering a culture of cooperation, flexibility and continuous improvement
  • Work closely with other leaders within the Polaris Community to share best practice and ensure alignment with our ethos

  • A proactive, adaptable attitude, able to set up new systems and processes aligned with the school's values and ethos
