Job description

Job Title: BSL Teaching Assistant – Deaf Provision (Primary – mainstream school)
Location: Birmingham
Contract: Full-time, Long-term
Start Date: ASAP or September start available

Looking for a role where your BSL skills truly matter?

This is one of those positions where you’ll feel the impact of your work every single day. We’re working with a brilliant mainstream primary school, proudly rated Outstanding by Ofsted, that has a well-established on-site deaf learning provision. They’re now looking for a BSL Teaching Assistant to join the team full-time.

If you’re confident using British Sign Language and love supporting pupils to access learning in a way that works for them, you’ll fit right in here.

What your day might look like:

You’ll be supporting pupils within the deaf provision, helping them access lessons, build confidence, and feel fully included in school life.

That could mean:

  • Translating classroom teaching into BSL
  • Supporting communication between pupils, staff, and peers
  • Working 1:1 or in small groups
  • Helping pupils stay engaged, settled, and ready to learn
  • Being that calm, familiar face pupils rely on

It’s hands-on, rewarding, and never dull.

Why this school?

This isn’t a “figure it out as you go” kind of place.

  • Dedicated deaf provision with experienced staff
  • Supportive leadership team who genuinely value support staff
  • Clear routines and structure, no chaos, no guesswork
  • A real focus on inclusion, communication, and pupil wellbeing

In short, it’s the kind of school where support staff aren’t just “extra hands”, they’re essential.

What we’re looking for:

  • BSL Level 2 or above (essential)
  • Experience working with children or young people
  • A calm, patient, and encouraging approach
  • Someone who builds trust easily and communicates with warmth
  • A genuine interest in supporting deaf learners

If you’ve worked in a school, SEND setting, or similar, great. If not, but you’ve got strong BSL and the right attitude, we still want to hear from you.

The long-term bit (because this one’s got legs)

This isn’t a short cover role. The school is looking for someone who can become part of the team, build relationships, and stay long-term. For the right person, this could turn into something really stable and rewarding.

Why work with Protocol Education?

  • Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella faff
  • FREE access to our CPD Academy
  • A dedicated consultant who actually listens
  • Long-term roles where you can settle and grow
  • Opportunities across mainstream and SEND settings

One more thing…

Are you Thrive trained?

If not, we’ll get you there. Our free Thrive training is a brilliant way to build your understanding of emotional wellbeing and behaviour, and schools absolutely love it. It’s a real boost to your CV and your confidence in the classroom.

If this sounds like your kind of role, let’s have a chat. This one won’t hang around for long.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Protocol Education website for further details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available at a later date.
