Additional Information:
Citywest ETNS is a rapidly-developing school entering its 6th year of existence. Current accommodation is our temporary premises; we expect to move into our permanent premises in 2019. Citywest Educate Together National School operates under the Educate Together ethos. We are a mainstream vertical school with one class for children with ASD. We expect to eventually open a second such class.
The vacancy is for our 7th and 8th SNA posts. Both posts are for 0.75 of a full-time contract. The posts are being re-advertised due to a technical error in the original advertisement.
Immediate duties for one post will be in the class for children with autism. Immediate duties for the second post will be with a mainstream class in the senior end of the school. SNAs can be allocated to any SNA role in the school at any time, at the discretion of the school principal.
Being a caring school is important to us and therefore teamwork, innovation, communication and collegiality are vital to be successful on our team.
Criteria for this position are as follows:
1. Relevant qualifications and experience - Applicants must have the minimum qualification necessary for appointment as a Special Need Assistant, which is an award of Grade D (or pass) in Irish, English and Mathematics in the Intermediate Certificate/Junior Certificate or the Day Vocational Certificate Examination or in an examination of equivalent standard. An additional qualification in special needs care and/or education, including autism or a related area is advantageous. Additional childcare and/or other relevant qualifications or courses (e.g. First Aid, Manual Handling, Positive Behaviour Support Strategies, PECS, etc) would be highly desirable.
2. Knowledge and experience of working in a class for children with ASD
3. Knowledge and experience of working with pupils in a mainstream setting with ASD, EBD, ODD, ADHD and/or intimate care needs would be highly advantageous.
4. Flexibility, team work and initiative
5. Communication and personal values relevant to our school ethos
Candidates submitting a PF1 form must do so at the time of application.
Applications via email only. Do not post a hard copy of your application to the school - it will be shredded and not considered.
Applications should be on the standard application form only, sent in PDF format and not zipped.
Those candidates invited to interview will be asked for a profile photo. There is no need to send one at this stage.
