We are seeking to appoint a Hearing Support Specialist (teaching assistant) to support the learning, educational progress and inclusion of deaf children, with the aim of narrowing any attainment gap they have with their hearing peers.
The successful candidate will give support to deaf children so that they can access the curriculum, participate in learning, experience a sense of achievement and develop independence in learning and other aspects of school life. The successful candidate will work under the direction of a Teacher of the Deaf – being ‘partners’ in supporting the pupils’ access to learning and their specific learning needs. Interested candidates must be able to demonstrate skills such as flexibility, excellent time-management skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
