This person should be capable of helping students identify where their unique viewpoints and skill sets can contribute to the broader system, as well as refine and enhance their solutions through a process of iteration. It is essential that they instill in our learners the importance of considering diverse perspectives when tackling complex issues, imparting to them the necessary proficiencies to succeed both academically and professionally.

We are looking for people who can bring new perspectives, life experiences and skills that will enrich our community and the learning of our students both inside and outside the classroom. If you share our vision of education and are keen to embrace the challenges this position entails, we would love to hear from you.
