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 Secondary teacher. The role responsibility will be to deliver the new OCR Enterprise & Marketing Key Stage 4 qualification to year 10, alongside some science, maths and ICT classes for both Key Stages 3 and 4.

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 encouraged to visit the school. Please contact us by telephone on 0117 9030 366 or email office@elmfieldschool.co.uk to arrange a visit.
