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. 

The Learning Support Team consists of approximately 25 Learning Mentors, supporting students across the Curriculum. The team is managed by three Assistant SENDCOs, with small groups being managed on a day-to-day basis by Senior Learning Mentors. In addition, a Deaf Inclusion Worker and Learning Support Administrator make up the Learning Support Team.

The SENDCO, with the support of the Head and Governing body, takes responsibility for the day-to-day operation of specialist provision made by the College for all students with identified SEND. The SENDCO provides strategic guidance that shapes high quality teaching and pastoral care and the effective use of resources to ensure outstanding outcomes for all students who have identified SEND.

This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably skilled person to join the College and work in its community of highly motivated staff, enthusiastic students, supportive parents and knowledgeable Governing Board.
