Empathy and Patience: A caring, patient approach with a commitment to understanding and meeting the individual needs of students.
Organisation and Initiative: The ability to manage time effectively, work independently, and respond proactively to the needs of the student.
Relevant Qualifications: You must be educated to Degree Level with a 2:2 or higher.
