- Is patient and caring towards our families
- Wants to be part of an amazing school and with a committed staff team
We can offer all candidates:

- An amazing shared office with our Inclusion Team where you will be well supported by friendly and happy colleagues
- The chance to be part of a school and Trust that values its staff
- The opportunity to shape this important area of work and have a positive impact on future life chances of Rossmere children.
