What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint a CSW to support Deaf students in lessons.
Elmfield is a maintained Bristol Special School for pupils aged 3-16 years which serves the Bristol and wider region. We have been consistently judged as 'Good' by Ofsted. Ofsted recognises that we are 'ambitious for pupils' and 'aspirational in our outlook'. Pupils have deafness as a primary need, some with additional Special Educational Needs, and we provide a Bilingual Deaf Education where BSL and English are used. Experience working with children with a range of additional needs will be an advantage.
Support will involve mediating and supporting language in both BSL and oral English. Staff will also support children to achieve their learning objectives through learning support, reinforcing expectations and vocabularies, and clarifying tasks.
The applicant should have:
• High expectations
• The ability to work flexibly and to use own initiative
• Experience of working within an educational environment with Deaf students
• Good spoken English skills
• Be able to develop and maintain records and liaise between teachers
• Excellent organisational skills
• A minimum of BSL Level 3 or equivalent essential
• A minimum of A-C GCSE English and Maths or equivalent essential
What the school offers its staff
- Staff training and professional development
- Wellbeing support package
- Employee Assistance Program
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- Supportive working environment
Further details about the role
Prospective applicants are welcome to visit the school. Please contact us by telephone to arrange a convenient time and date.
Commitment to safeguarding
Elmfield is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young children and young people and the expectation is that all staff and volunteers share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and two satisfactory references.
