Merton Sensory Support Service is seeking a Qualified Teacher of Children and Young People with
Vision Impairment (QTVI) to join their dynamic team of experienced professionals, dedicated to providing high quality support and advice to Merton’s schools and settings.
Merton Sensory Support Service is a well-established and highly effective specialist teaching team within Merton’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Integrated Service (SENDIS). The Service plays a crucial role in supporting and delivering the Local Authority’s statutory duties and provision whilst promoting equality of access to all learning for CYP with Visual Impairment (VI), Deafness and Multi-Sensory Impairment (MSI). If you are looking to making a positive impact on the lives of CYP with VI then this is the role for you.
An in-depth knowledge of the strategies and technologies used to remove barriers to learning for babies, children and young people with vision impairment is essential, therefore you will hold the Mandatory Qualification in VI. Candidates in their final year of training will also be considered. You should have successful experience of teaching in an educational setting, experience of working with families, and experience of multi-agency working. You will manage a personal caseload including both advisory and direct teaching support for children with VI. You should have experience of delivering individual and whole school training in a range of settings. It is highly desirable that the candidate has high levels of skill and confidence in using technology and equipment that supports access for CYP with VI. This role offers a varied experience and would suit someone who is enthusiastic, flexible, and able to work in a variety of settings, as part of a Service and multi- disciplinary team.
An in-depth knowledge of the requirements for safeguarding and child protection, strategies is essential as well as knowledge of current SEND policy and practice, especially as it affects teaching and learning within provision for the sensory impaired.
You must hold a current driver’s license and have access to a car. An essential car user parking permit for the borough and a mileage allowance is available. This post is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Closing date for applications 12th May 2025
Interviews are provisionally scheduled for 19th May 2025
