Located on the stunning Jurassic Coast and with the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close by, Exmouth Community College is one of the largest secondary schools in the country with over 2300 students.
The College is seeking an outstanding, inspirational and dynamic qualified teacher to take on the Director of SEND (SENDCO) role. This offers a unique opportunity for an ambitious, creative and enthusiastic individual to lead the Learning Support Team within the context of the whole College vision.
