Working in the South West

Far away yet close enough to two thriving cities while simultaneously being set within beautiful surroundings, our schools give our staff the opportunity to live and work in fantastic locations across South Devon.

With the rolling hills of Dartmoor, impressive coastlines, and far-reaching estuaries all within close proximity, the schools within our trust are in locations with something for everyone. Whether it’s walking along the riverbank, cycling through one of the many country parks or paddleboarding out to sea there is so much to take advantage of on our doorstep.

And it’s not just the great outdoors that we are proud to be able to access at IET. For those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life, both Exeter and Plymouth can be reached within a 45 min drive while London is directly accessible by train within 2.5 hours.

So, whether you already live in the area, or are thinking about relocating to one of our seaside towns, working for the Ivy Education Trust can provide you with the opportunity to enjoy South Devon at its finest.
