We are looking to appoint a CSW to support Deaf students in lessons.
Elmfield is a maintained Bristol Special School for pupils aged 3-16 years, serving Bristol and the wider region. We have been consistently judged as 'Good' by Ofsted, which recognises us as 'ambitious for pupils' and 'aspirational in our outlook'. Pupils have deafness as a primary need, some with additional Special Educational Needs, and we provide a Bilingual Deaf Education using BSL and English. Experience working with children with a range of additional needs is advantageous.
Support involves mediating and supporting language in both BSL and oral English. Staff will also support children to achieve their learning objectives through learning support, reinforcing expectations and vocabularies, and clarifying tasks.
The applicant should have:
* High expectations
* The ability to work flexibly and use own initiative
* Experience working within an educational environment with Deaf students
* Good spoken English skills
* Ability to develop and maintain records and liaise between teachers
* Excellent organisational skills
* A minimum of BSL Level 3 or equivalent (essential)
* A minimum of A-C GCSE English and Maths or equivalent (essential)
Prospective applicants are welcome to visit the school. Please contact us by telephone to arrange a suitable time and date.
Closing date for applications: Monday 30th June at 9am
Interviews: ASAP
We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful applicants.
Note: We do not deal with recruitment agencies and cannot accept CVs.
We are also interested in candidates who would like to join our supply list to cover adhoc staff absence.
