Part-Time Teacher of Deaf Children and Young People (EYFS or KS1) position required for April 2023 or as soon as possible after that date.

Primary age range – we would welcome applications from teachers with either EYFS or KS1 expertise

Salary: MPS + Inner London Allowance + 1 SEN point

(Possibility of a TLR for extra responsibility depending on the role and skills of the applicant)

 Blanche Nevile School for Deaf Children, North London

We are an exciting, innovative and successful provision for deaf children aged 3 - 16. The Primary school is co-located with Highgate Primary School and the Secondary school is co-located with Fortismere School, Muswell Hill. We offer the best of both worlds through quality inclusion and small class specialist teaching. We are looking for an excellent EYFS/KS1 practitioner to join our skilled team of deaf and hearing staff with a commitment to a child centred, sign bilingual approach.

 The school is on a journey to ‘Outstanding’ following a ‘Good’ Ofsted (November 2017).

“Pupils are well-rounded individuals because they are taught to develop their understanding of deaf issues and their place in the wider community. They learn the importance of being tolerant of others, and are keen to help the pupils they join for inclusion lessons understand what being deaf means” (Ofsted 2017).

The successful candidate will:

• have experience of teaching in EYFS or KS1
• promote effective inclusive education for deaf pupils
• have high expectations and excellent planning and differentiation skills
• knowledge of British Sign Language or a commitment to work towards a minimum BSL Level 3
• have excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• be flexible with a commitment to work in partnership with a mainstream team

Teacher of Deaf Children and Young People qualification is desirable but not essential. However, the successful applicant would be expected to undergo training to gain this mandatory qualification, which will be funded by the school.   Experience across the primary age range is desirable as is experience of teaching children with SEND. Additional support and training will be given as required. 

As we are advertising this post with a flexible start date, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the role with interested candidates. Informal visits are warmly welcomed by appointment. Please email sbm@blanchenevile.org.uk
