About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity within the Virtual School Sensory Support (VSSS) for a Teacher of Deaf Children and Young People. Virtual School Sensory Support (VSSS) is part of Norfolk County Council’s Inclusion and Opportunity service. VSSS is a county-wide specialist service supporting children and young people with sensory loss from birth to 25 across homes, early years settings, mainstream and specialist schools, sixth forms, and further education colleges.
To be successful in this role, you will be a dedicated, experienced qualified teacher with a proven track record of working with others with a focus on improving outcomes for children and young people with SEND. You will either hold the mandatory qualification as a Teacher of Deaf Children and Young People or be willing to undertake this specialist qualification as part of your professional development.
You will be joining a close-knit, experienced, and supportive team whose members work collaboratively, share their expertise, and support one another to achieve the best possible outcomes. A strong team fit is therefore essential: you will be approachable, an excellent communicator, and someone who values open dialogue, shared problem-solving, and positive professional relationships.
