- Proven leadership in boarding, student wellbeing or residential education
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills
- A strong understanding of adolescent development and pastoral care
- Ability to engage positively with students, families, and staff
- A commitment to child safety, inclusion, and continuous improvement
- Current VIT registration
- Availability to work weekends and travel as required
