Hello @charlotteseymour92,
Please read the description of your theme page:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/dyad-2/It has a step-by-step guide to enable the moving header images(Featured Content Slider).
Hope this helps :)

Hi, thank you for posting that link. As I’m pretty new to this – does this mean if I have a static home page this feature isn’t available?

As it says in the theme description page:
If the site is using a Static Front Page, the theme will display that page’s Featured Image in the header area. If one is not assigned, the theme will fall back to the Featured Content slider. If no posts have the Featured Content tag, the Custom Header Image will be displayed on the Front Page instead.
So yes, the slider will work on the static page only if there’s no feature image assigned to that page.
