This post offers an exciting opportunity for a committed and motivated Advisory
teacher for Vision Impairment.
We are seeking to appoint a full time, permanent Advisory teacher for Vision
Impairment to join our Sensory Support (SENS) service in Ealing. A job share would
be considered for the right candidates.
Ealing is a diverse London Borough with a commitment to providing high quality
support to families, schools and settings to enable them to include children and
young people with a range of vision impairments.
We are passionate about enabling children with vision impairment to achieve their
best educational and wellbeing outcomes. The service is part of ESCAN (Ealing
Services for Children with Additional Needs) that includes health therapy services
such as Speech and Language Occupational Therapy, Audiology and the Child
Development Team, as well as Educational Psychology and the SEN Assessment
Service. There is real opportunity for multiagency working.
We have a good relationship with our schools and early years settings. It is possible
to use public transport to carry out visits in the Borough. However, as the post will
frequently involve working in more than one location daily, a full clean driving licence
would be an advantage. Public transport and mileage costs are paid.
If you are:
a qualified teacher of Vision Impairment
or an experienced teacher who is currently undertaking training for the
mandatory qualification,
or a qualified teacher who is willing to undertake the training for the mandatory
qualification.
are flexible and creative with excellent interpersonal skills.
keen to work within a team which believes in a proactive, multi-disciplinary
approach to inclusion.
committed to developing inclusive educational practices.
then we would welcome your application for this post.
A Teaching and Learning Responsibility allowance is being offered to qualified
teachers of vision impairment for taking on an area of responsibility within the service.
For experienced qualified teachers willing to undertake the mandatory training, you
would be employed as a teacher with 1 SEN point until you are qualified. The
qualification would be achieved through distance learning through designated
providers and funded by Ealing Council.
For further information, please telephone Susanna Memon 07590626015
Ealing Council is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and
expects all staff to share this commitment. Ealing follows safer recruitment practices
to protect children and vulnerable adults. The post holder will be subject to an
enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and Ealing’s enhanced
vetting process.
We would be happy to receive applications from full time and part time teachers.
