We are looking for friendly, supportive people with experience working with individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities to join our growing education team at ROC College.

Working with a registered charity, their mission is to ensure individuals with learning disabilities, mental or physical support needs have the opportunity to live their lives to the full. The College we are working with is a specialist college providing person-centred, community-based teaching and learning within Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset.
