Elmfield School for Deaf Children is a specialist setting for deaf children with an EHCP in the locality. We are a very small school (on two sites) which follows the aims and ambitions of the national curriculum, but is delivered in a highly individualised manner.

All teaching and learning sits within a sign bilingual framework. This allows all pupils to access their learning through either BSL or spoken English. This equity in language is a key principle of our school.

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and inspirational Y2 class teacher.

The successful candidate will be:

• Interested in deaf education

• An innovative and patient classroom teacher

• Excellent at planning and differentiation skills in modifying curriculum to suit need

• Motivated to work in a school with a bilingual approach

• Someone who has had exposure to BSL and has deaf awareness (level 3 BSL preferable, but will consider other candidates)

We offer a supportive induction, Continuing Professional Development and the opportunity to work within a close-knit team of professionals from the hearing and deaf communities.

Applications will be considered from mainstream teachers with a keen interest in SEND/Deaf education as well as experienced Teachers of the Deaf.

Prospective applicants are welcome to visit the school. Please email us at [email protected] to arrange a convenient time and date.

Closing date: Tuesday 31st March at 9am

Interviews: Term 5
