We are searching for someone to support a small group of men to learn NZ sign language basics. Ideally we will hold a weekly session where the men can learn new sign each week, and then practice in their own time. By supporting this learning we are ultimately hoping to increase the number of people who can understand basic sign and better communicate with those who use this everyday, both whilst in our care but also in the wider community.
