  • A positive, patient, and caring approach
  • A desire to empower and support young people

Why join us?

  • Extra 16% of salary paid into your pension (yes, really!)
  • Paid staff development days
  • Free wellbeing activities
  • Discounts at hundreds of retailers
  • Term‑time only contracts

Benefits

We’ll give you incredibly generous holidays and a superb pension scheme. You’ll also get a package of amazing benefits, including free counselling and discounted supermarket shopping, spa treatments, and more.

Safeguarding

We’re totally committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all our students, and we expect you to be too. We follow safer recruitment statutory guidance (Keeping Children Safe in Education). If you’re successful, you’ll be required to complete thorough pre‑employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. All posts at Exeter College are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 and the relevant amendments.
