Your new company

Are you passionate about supporting students with hearing impairments? Are you experienced or qualified in BSL? An outstanding secondary school in Preston is seeking a dedicated British Sign Language Specialist Teaching Assistant to join their team. This role is to start in September and offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on students' educational experiences.

Your new role

As a BSL Specialist, you will play a vital role in supporting deaf pupils to access the curriculum and thrive both academically and socially.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Using British Sign Language to facilitate communication between pupils, staff, and peers.

• Supporting students in small groups and 1:1 settings, adapting learning materials to meet individual needs.

• Promoting independence and self-confidence in deaf learners.

• Assisting in the planning and delivery of engaging lessons alongside class teachers.

• Encouraging a positive and inclusive classroom environment.

What you'll need to succeed

Ideally, you will have a recognised qualification in British Sign Language (minimum Level 2, Level 3+ preferred). If not, previous experience working with deaf children or young people is essential. You will have a compassionate and patient approach with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will be paid a highly competitive daily rate and will be working in this successful school where you will become an integral part of a welcoming team of TA's. You will therefore have the opportunity to further develop your own teaching assistant skills and experience. You will also have a dedicated consultant supporting you along the way.
