BSL Communication Worker - Brent

BSL Communication Worker

Brent, London  •  £90–£97.50/day PAYE  •  08:20–15:45  •  Monday–Friday, Term Time Only

Every child deserves to fully participate in their education. For deaf and hearing impaired pupils, the right communication support doesn’t just help them learn — it changes what they believe is possible for them.

A welcoming mainstream primary school in Brent is looking for a BSL Communication Worker to join their dedicated Hearing Impairment Provision. Whether you hold your BSL Level 2 qualification or are currently working towards it, this is a rare opportunity to do meaningful, skilled work in an inclusive school that genuinely values deaf awareness — and to build a career that matters.

The school has an experienced team, strong systems, and a real commitment to making inclusion work in practice, not just on paper. You’ll be supported from day one.

You’ll be embedded across specialist and mainstream settings, using your BSL skills to bridge communication, support learning, and help hearing impaired pupils feel fully included in school life. Day to day, that means:

• Supporting pupils with hearing impairments in both specialist provision and mainstream classrooms
• Using BSL, SSE and multi-modal communication to aid understanding and participation
• Working as part of a skilled team alongside teachers, therapists and support staff
• Contributing to whole-school deaf awareness activities, events and staff development
• Helping create an environment where every child — regardless of need — feels they belong

This is an inclusive primary school for children aged 4–11 with a specialist Hearing Impairment Provision at its heart. The school uses a multi-modal communication approach — BSL, SSE, spoken and written English — and some pupils may also have additional needs including Autism, SEMH or Visual Impairments. Deaf awareness isn’t a box-ticking exercise here; it’s woven into the school’s culture and community.

You’ll need BSL Level 2 as a minimum — or to be actively working towards it. Beyond that, we’re looking for someone who:

• Is confident using BSL in a classroom setting
• Is patient, warm and genuinely passionate about supporting children with diverse communication needs
• Has previous school or provision experience — though strong candidates who are newer to education but hold BSL Level 2 are very welcome to apply

This role is particularly well suited to those who want to build towards a career as a Teacher of the Deaf, SEN teacher or Speech and Language Therapist — the experience and exposure here is hard to find elsewhere.

Deaf and hearing impaired children thrive when they have someone in the room who speaks their language — literally. A skilled BSL communicator doesn’t just translate words; they open up lessons, build confidence and help a child feel like they’re really part of their class, not just present in it.

This is structured, purposeful work in a school that has invested seriously in getting inclusion right. If you want a role where your BSL skills are genuinely central — not an afterthought — this is it.
