NDCS is recruiting some new sessional workers to join the team of Project Leaders, Assistant Project Leaders and Mentors working on the youth programme and inclusive activities team events. A new role of Waking Night Support will also be added. This role is specifically for Activity Weekends for deaf children with additional complex needs.
The roles have been added to the NDCS website today www.ndcs.org.uk/jobs.
We will be advertising on some external websites, tweeting and facebook-ing to make sure word gets out about the opportunities. We are especially keen to get applications from Scotland so please do send the info on to anyone you think might be interested and encourage them to apply.
The science of deafness
Earlier this year NDCS Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Minority Deaf Children’s Society, held an information day for black and minority ethnic (BME) families of deaf children.
The day focused on medical research into deafness, and several medical professionals answered questions about neurotrophic treatments, brain stem implants, the role of speech and language therapy, genetic counselling, and many more topics.
One dad who attended told us, “I liked the informal setting and the chance to discuss issues with the professionals themselves”.
All in all, a success!
