Support staff, including communication support workers, from the DSD work with subject teachers to aid them to include the deaf learners in their lesson. Teachers of the Deaf are responsible for assessing and monitoring the deaf pupil’s language, literacy and communication skills using specialist assessments and this information to inform the planning of specialist 1:1 or small group sessions to target the specific needs of the learners. Please read the person specification carefully to ensure that you meet the requirements of the role.
