Introducing the BSL Teacher Directory

We are excited to introduce the BSL Teacher Directory, which has been developed between a number of organisations who all aim to promote British Sign Language teachers and qualifications.

The purpose of the BSL teacher directory is to allow teachers to promote their skills, experience, and teaching qualifications. Whether you are a BSL teacher searching for a new role, or you just want to take on other opportunities.

We also want any centre and educational setting to be able to easily find a BSL teacher across the UK, or advertise roles that BSL teacher may be interested in. The BSL teacher directory allows them to do this.

It is hoped that this will provide better access to learners who wish to study sign language by putting centres or schools together with an appropriately qualified teacher so that more people can learn our beautiful language.

There is no cost for adding your details, posting a job or using the service.

The BSL Teacher directory is available here: https://bsl-teacher-directory.co.uk/
