BSL Communication Support Practitioner | Hearing Impairment Provision | Brent, North West London | £92.59–£97.50 per day PAYE

What happens when a deaf child has someone beside them who doesn't just understand their communication needs, but makes sure they are heard, included and able to take part?

For a hearing impaired pupil, meaningful communication can change everything. It can mean joining in with a lesson rather than watching from the sidelines, sharing a joke with classmates, understanding what is happening around them and developing the confidence to express themselves.

This is an opportunity to become that person.

If you have BSL skills, a patient and supportive approach, and a genuine interest in deaf education, this welcoming Brent primary school could be an excellent next step.

About the School

This inclusive mainstream primary school supports children aged 4 to 11 and has a dedicated Hearing Impairment Provision at the heart of its approach to inclusion.

Pupils are supported through a range of communication methods, including BSL, SSE, spoken English and written English. The school also supports children with a range of additional needs, including Autism, SEMH and Visual Impairment.

Deaf awareness is embedded throughout the school rather than being treated as a standalone initiative. You will work alongside an experienced specialist team and benefit from established systems, collaborative colleagues and ongoing professional support.

The Role

As a BSL Communication Support Practitioner, you will work across the specialist Hearing Impairment Provision and mainstream classrooms, helping pupils access learning, communicate confidently and participate fully in everyday school life.

You will play an important role in bridging communication between pupils, teachers and their peers while helping create an environment where hearing impaired children can thrive.

What You Will Be Doing

Supporting hearing impaired pupils across specialist and mainstream classroom environments
Using BSL, SSE and other communication approaches to promote understanding and participation
Helping pupils access lessons, activities and wider school experiences
Working closely with teachers, therapists and specialist support staff
Encouraging positive communication and social interaction between pupils
Contributing to deaf awareness across the wider school community
Supporting an inclusive environment where every pupil can participate and feel valued

Who We Are Looking For

Someone with a basic understanding or developing ability in BSL
A confident communicator who can adapt their approach to individual pupils
A patient, empathetic and naturally supportive personality
Someone genuinely interested in deaf education, SEND and inclusive practice
Previous experience working in schools or specialist provisions is beneficial, but not essential
Someone comfortable working as part of a wider multidisciplinary team
Candidates considering a future career as a Teacher of the Deaf, SEN Teacher, Speech and Language Therapist or specialist SEND practitioner are particularly encouraged to apply

What You Will Get

£92.59–£97.50 per day PAYE
No umbrella company deductions
Monday to Friday, 08:20–15:45
Term time only
Immediate start available
Ongoing CPD and specialist professional development
Valuable experience within a dedicated Hearing Impairment Provision
Excellent experience for anyone looking to progress within deaf education or specialist SEND
Full support throughout the recruitment process from Daniel at Parker Smith Inclusion

Why This Role Matters

In a mainstream classroom, communication can easily become something a deaf child has to work harder to access.

Your role is to help change that.

Whether it is helping a pupil understand a lesson, follow a conversation, communicate with their peers or simply feel confident enough to put their hand up and contribute, your presence can make school feel more accessible and more connected.

This is more than classroom support. It is an opportunity to help children develop confidence, independence and a genuine sense of belonging.

Interested?

If you have BSL skills and would like to build your experience within a specialist Hearing Impairment Provision, we'd love to hear from you.
