Looking for a rewarding role with all the school holidays off? Love working with young people and making a real difference? Join our amazing Learning Support team!

You’ll support students with learning/emotional difficulties, helping them thrive in the classroom and become more independent. Some students may need one‑on‑one support, while others will benefit from small group sessions. If you're happy to help with personal care and/or physical support, we’d especially love to hear from you.

• GCSEs in Maths & English (Grade 4/C or above)
• A positive, patient, and caring approach
• A desire to empower and support young people

Our roles are term‑time only, meaning you are guaranteed 13 weeks’ holiday every year. Whether you’re looking for part‑time work or flexible hours, we can help you find a schedule that fits. Our contracts range from 18 – 30 hours per week, with lessons timetabled from 8:30am to 4:40pm.

• 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

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.

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.
