We serve families across New Jersey through three core programs: Early Intervention, Preschool (Approved Private School for Students with Disabilities), and Itinerant Services. Our students use a range of hearing technologies—including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and FM/DM systems—to access sound and develop spoken language.

We are seeking a passionate, student-centered Teacher of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing (ToD/HH) to join our growing Itinerant Services team.

Itinerant ToDs provide direct services to students in their home school districts, supporting access, communication, and academic success. Services are typically delivered in 1:1 pull-out sessions, with opportunities for in-class support and collaboration with school teams.

• You will be assigned students based on districts near your home, minimizing travel.

• Summit currently partners with 66 school districts statewide, offering a diverse and rewarding caseload.

• You will collaborate closely with classroom teachers, CST members, related service providers, and families to ensure each student receives consistent, high-quality support.

What You’ll Do

• Provide individualized LSL-based instruction to students who are deaf or hard of hearing

• Conduct hearing checks and support troubleshooting of hearing technology

• Coach school staff on accommodations, communication strategies, and device use

• Contribute to IEP development, documentation, and progress monitoring

• Serve as a knowledgeable, responsive partner to districts and families

What We Offer

• Full-time salaried positions ($61,000-$90,000) or hourly positions ($70–$80/hr)

• A supportive, mission-driven team of ToDs and Educational Audiologists

• Professional development in Listening & Spoken Language and hearing technology

• A collaborative environment where your expertise is valued and amplified

Required Qualifications

• NJ DOE Teacher of the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Certification

• Strong commitment to Listening & Spoken Language

• Ability to travel to assigned districts (assignments are localized to your region)

If you’re passionate about helping students with hearing loss thrive in their neighborhood schools—and you want to be part of a respected, statewide program—we’d love to meet you.
