Your new role
Are you passionate about supporting children with additional needs? Do you have a foundational understanding of British Sign Language (BSL) and a desire to make a meaningful impact?
We are seeking a British Sign Language Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a young student who is Deaf and non-verbal within a mainstream primary school setting. This child has recently relocated and is beginning their educational journey, requiring a gentle and nurturing approach.
Key Responsibilities:
* Provide BSL translation and communication support on a 1:1 basis.
* Assist in teaching the student BSL and developing their signing skills.
* Work closely with teachers and support staff to ensure an inclusive learning experience.
* Help the student transition smoothly into their new school environment with patience and encouragement.
Requirements:
* Minimum BSL Level 1 qualification (the school will provide support to progress through BSL qualifications).
* BSL Level 1–3 applicants are welcome.
* A genuine passion for working with children with additional needs.
* Ability to provide a kind, patient, and adaptable approach to learning.
* Previous experience in a school or SEN support role is beneficial but not essential.
Job Details:
* Fixed-term contract for the full academic year.
* Immediate start preferred, but the school is willing to wait for the right candidate until September 2025.
* Full-time, term-time only.
If you have a heart for supporting children and the skills to foster communication through BSL, we would love to hear from you!
