• Holds a degree in a science-related subject (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field).
• Is enthusiastic about working with young people and supporting their education.
• Has strong communication and leadership skills, with the confidence to manage a classroom setting.
• Can adapt to different subjects and year groups when required.
