  • Resilience, patience, and the ability to respond to behaviours including aggression and emotional dysregulation.
  • Able to work within a therapeutic team, embracing reflection, supervision, and ongoing professional development.
  • Commitment to child safety, equity, cultural safety, and wellbeing.
  • Physical capability to respond to crisis situations.
