We are looking for a resourceful, flexible and committed individual with strong leadership and communication skills with experience in teaching, particularly within a residential summer school. The ideal candidate will be highly articulate, confident and dynamic within a school environment and to aid the creation of a culture that is innovative and promotes personal responsibility.
