Are you passionate about supporting young people and confident communicating through British Sign Language (BSL)?

We're looking for enthusiastic, caring and dedicated Support Staff with BSL Level 2 or Level 3 to join fantastic SEND schools and colleges across Birmingham.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine difference every day, supporting young people to learn, communicate, grow in confidence and achieve their goals.

What will you be doing?

As a BSL Support Staff member, you could be working alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students both inside and outside the classroom.

Your role may include:

• Using BSL to support communication and learning
• Supporting students with their educational activities and individual learning goals
• Helping young people develop their communication, confidence and independence
• Providing encouragement and positive support throughout the school/college day
• Supporting students with a range of SEND needs
• Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils and students
• Working as part of a friendly and supportive team
• Helping students engage in activities, lessons and wider college/school life

A diverse range of needs

The schools and colleges we work with support young people with a wide range of additional needs. These may include:

• Severe learning difficulties
• Complex needs
• Physical disabilities
• Sensory needs
• Communication and interaction needs
• Autism and other neurodevelopmental needs
• Hearing impairments
• Other associated learning and sensory disorders

Don't worry if you haven't worked with every type of need before! What matters most is your willingness to learn, your patience, your enthusiasm and your genuine desire to help young people thrive.

We're looking for candidates who have:

BSL Level 2 or Level 3 qualification
Experience working with children, young people or adults with SEND is desirable
A caring, patient and positive approach
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
The ability to build strong relationships with students

Why join us?

This isn't just another support role - you can become an important part of a young person's journey.

Every day brings something different, from celebrating a student's progress to helping them overcome a challenge, discover a new skill or simply feel understood and included.

You'll have the opportunity to work in welcoming SEND environments, gain valuable experience and make a real, lasting difference to the lives of young people.
