We want an exceptional teacher, with the energy, vision, work ethic and good humour to inspire and take the high standards of the faculty to the next level.
We offer:
A highly supportive team of colleagues who are visible, hard-working and committed to our young people.
Ongoing bespoke professional development and career pathways, including National Professional Qualifications.
The chance to work with great young people in a comprehensive setting, in a beautiful part of the country.
A multi-million pound investment programme planned across the school over the coming 3 years.
The opportunity to support the delivery of geography across a truly comprehensive mixed age range, from Year 7 all the way up to Year 13.
KEVICC, as we are widely known, is situated in the South Hams town of Totnes, serving a wide and varied area. You can get a glimpse of what we are about via the website, Instagram (@kevicc.totnes) and YouTube (KEVICC Totnes).
