Teacher of the Deaf

Newcastle SEND Sensory Service is seeking to appoint a full time qualified Teacher of the Deaf from September 2024. This post is an excellent opportunity to join enthusiastic team who support the achievements of children and young people who are deaf, their families, settings and schools across the city.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding practitioner who has recent classroom teaching experience. We will consider suitably experienced teachers without the mandatory qualification who are interested in developing their specialist skills to work with CYP who are deaf and are willing to undertake the two-year specialist postgraduate qualification to train as a Teacher of the Deaf. The Service provides a mentorship programme for all new members of staff and for those in training.

The appointment is to a city-wide Service with the role initially based in one of the Additionally Resourced Provisions (HIARPs) at either Benton Park Primary School, Broadwood Primary School or Jesmond Park Academy. A peripatetic role may be considered for a suitably experienced qualified Teacher of the Deaf with the relevant skills.

The successful candidate requires excellent interpersonal skills, flexibility and the ability to work with families, schools, colleagues and other professionals. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated professional who is committed to improving the outcomes for children and young people who are deaf.

The ability to be well organised and to meet deadlines is essential. This will be a demanding, varied, highly challenging and rewarding role that will provide an excellent career opportunity for an exceptional individual.

As this post involves working with children, vulnerable adults or dealing with sensitive information, written references will be taken up and made available to interviewers before the final selection stage; even if you indicate otherwise.

We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure and a range of other recruitment checks.
