Are you a fully qualified SENCO looking for a rewarding, flexible opportunity in Devon?

Provide expert guidance to teaching staff to ensure inclusive, high-quality delivery.
Candidate Requirements:
To be considered for this position, candidates must meet the following criteria:
NASENCO Qualification: Must hold the National Award for Special Educational Needs Coordination (or equivalent official UK SENCO qualification).
Driving Licence: A valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential (the role involves travel within the Exeter area to support students in community-based settings).
Experience: Experience working within an Alternative Provision, PRU (Pupil Referral Unit), or with SEMH/vulnerable youth is highly advantageous.
Why Apply?
Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a highly sought-after 3-day working week.
Fulfilling Work: Support young people who truly benefit from a non-traditional educational environment.
Supportive Agency: Dedicated payroll and compliance support through Randstad.
