We are an exciting, innovative and successful provision for deaf children aged 3 – 16. The Secondary school is co-located with Fortismere School,( Muswell Hill). The Primary School is co-located with Highgate Primary School.

We are looking for an excellent Technology Teacher to join our skilled team of deaf and hearing staff. Other teaching specialisms are also valued by the school and will be considered within the successful applicant’s timetable. The role is based in our Secondary School site.

At Blanche Nevile we offer:

• Small class sizes with additional support staff
• Generous PPA time that is above national requirements
• A friendly, professional working atmosphere where staff retention is high.
• Regular training opportunities including learning British Sign Language (BSL)

This would be funded by the school. Additional support and training will be given as required.
