Teacher (Pupils with Sensory Impairment)

Applications are invited from registered teachers who have recent experience and interest in working with children with additional support needs, in particular children who have a sensory impairment. The post is within the sensory team, which is part of the Renfrewshire Specialist Support Service based in Castlehead High School, Paisley.
 
The sensory team supports pupils who have a visual and / or hearing difficulty in the pre-five, primary and secondary sector.
