What’s the context and purpose of the role?
Only two special schools in Namibia provide formal education for children who
are deaf and this falls far short of meeting the real need. Support for hearing
impaired children in mainstream schools is extremely rare. However CLaSH
actively assists children who can be included in mainstream education. It also
works with the two schools for the deaf, providing teacher training, hearing
aids and supporting educational projects. You’ll be providing expertise
and training to improve the education of deaf and hard-of-hearing children.
What does the role involve?
- Assessing hearing impaired children and advising on the most suitable setting for their education (specialist or inclusive).
- Advising maninstream schools on the inclusion of heard-of-hearing learners.
- Working at the ClaSH headquarters to help it become a centre of excellence in Deaf Education.
- Training caregivers and teachers in Deaf Education.
- Designing and facilitating workshops and lectures on speech and language development and hearing impairments.
- Developing parents’ empowerement initiatives.
- Developing links with relevant government ministries and social servies.
What skills, experience and personal qualities are needed for the role?
You’ll have academic qualifications as a teacher, specialising in Deaf
Education, with at least 5-10years’ experience in school environments
working with pre- and primary school children. Ideally you’ll have sign
language skills and experience of audiometry. You’ll be experienced in
working with parents and families of deaf children, offering counselling, home
programmes and advice. Your experience of Inclusive Education will enable you to
provide advice and training on how to promote this within mainstream schools.
In addition to these professional skills, you’ll need to be an excellent
communicator with self-assurance and an ability to work independently. Being
able to prioritise your work and keeping a positive outlook will be essential.
You must be willing to travel within Namibia and be flexible enough to deal with
a wide range of demands on your time.
And the rest...
You’ll be based in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. Set among low
hills at an elevation of 1660m, the capital city enjoys dry, clean air, a
healthy highland climate, and an optimistic outlook that sets an example for all
of Africa. Windhoek offers many of the modern facilities expected of a capital
city; shops and restaurants offer a wide range of food and goods.
We’ll ask you to commit to 12 - 24 months to make a sustainable
contribution to our development goals. In return, we’ll give you
comprehensive financial, personal and professional support. We'll provide you
with extensive training before your placement, and our financial package
includes a local salary, return flights, accommodation, insurance and more. When
you return to your home country, we'll help you to resettle and many of our
returned volunteers stay involved with us long after their placement ends.
