Specialist Support Worker

"Our vision is to provide high quality support for all Bradford children and young people using a collaborative approach through transformational learning experiences so that they can flourish, make excellent holistic progress and successfully transition to responsible citizens". We are seeking to recruit a dedicated and creative Specialist Support Worker (SSW) to join our team of professionals to work with deaf children across the Deaf and MSI Children Service, in the Local Authority Led Resourced Provisions (LARP). This post will initially be based at Girlington Primary School. The Deaf and MSI Children Service is a large, enthusiastic, and dynamic team of specialists providing teaching and support for Deaf and MSI children and young people. We work with three schools that host a Local Authority Led Resourced Provision and peripatetically across the Bradford local authority. As a Specialist Support Worker, we can offer you:

• An opportunity to work within a dedicated, skilled, and supportive team.
• Planned continuous professional development (CPD) relevant to your role.
• Access to wellbeing support and resources and other employee benefits
• An opportunity to make a positive contribution to the successful education and wellbeing of Deaf children and young people.
  
  Ideally you will have experience of working in an education setting with deaf children and young people. You must have the ability to demonstrate skills in British Sign Language at a minimum of Level 2 and have a willingness to develop your BSL further. There will be opportunity within the service to do this.
