The SDEs will be equipped with a laptop and phone and will be expected to be visiting customers on a minimum of 4 days per week.
The SDE team will be visiting an average of 10 schools per week in order to generate signed commitment to teaching relevant OCR qualifications from September 2015.

The role will be home-based, requiring extensive travel around a defined territory (South West, South East and London) and some days at OCR Head office site in Coventry and Cambridge. The induction period, in the first two weeks, will take place in Cambridge. Applicants must possess a full, UK driving licence and own car.
