Compassion: At IntoUniversity, we practise pastoral, long-term care

Are you someone who is kind and supportive of others? We need team members who can motivate and interact positively with children and young people.

Aspiration: At IntoUniversity, we behave aspirationally and positively

Are you someone who has a positive outlook? We need staff to be aspirational role models to our young people and make learning come alive. You will also need excellent communication skills to interact positively and professionally with our families, partner schools, visitors, volunteers and staff.
