Your Role
We require for September 2024 two enthusiastic, dedicated and dynamic Teachers of deaf children and young people (ToDs) who have a passion for improving the lives and outcomes for deaf children and young people. We are seeking someone who has ideally already completed their mandatory training as a ToD and has some experience, or is currently on the final year of the mandatory training course.

About You
We are particularly interested in receiving applications from ToDs who have early years and/or deaf resourced provision experience, also from those who have experience working with deaf children and young people who have additional complex needs, although this is desirable rather than essential.
