- Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
- Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.

- Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
- Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
- A working culture that takes faculty wellbeing seriously.
