Commitment to Te Ao Māori and growing in Te reo Māori is essential. Demonstrating awareness of the diverse and ethnic-specific identities, languages and cultures of Pacific learners and effective approaches is also essential. 

Successful experience in a leadership role and knowledge and experience of coaching would be an advantage.
