If you would like to join TeamRAD – delivering invaluable one-to-one and group support to deaf people, in their first language, usually British Sign Language (BSL) or via specialist communication systems like Makaton, please get in touch! Our Independent Living team provides person-centred support so that deaf and deafblind people (including those who have additional support needs, e.g., a learning disability or mental health challenge) can develop the skills needed to live independently.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone can live a safe, fulfilled and happy life. If you have a positive attitude, a flexible approach and would like to join our team – get in touch!

Permanent roles attract life assurance benefit, generous pension and 30 days annual leave (FTE).

The sessional opportunity is flexible work and colleagues can choose support sessions from those offered.
