Education Officer

The WWGS Education Officer (EO) based in Leinster will have primary responsibility for supporting WWGS schools in Leinster, in increasing the scope and quality of GCE in their schools. The Education Officer will also have responsibility for resource development and the development of good practice case studies on Global Citizenship Education to showcase the work happening in schools in relation to GCE.

S/he will play a key role in supporting schools (Leinster Region) to effectively utilise all available WWGS supports, and in monitoring the progress of schools and their GCE programme.

The EO will provide Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for schools, through design and delivery, ensuring that schools are equipped to engage in quality Global Citizenship Education through in-school (one-to-one teacher support, and whole-staff training) and national/regional CPD.

The EO will assist in monitoring the progress of the WWGS programme towards meeting its overall strategic aim and objectives, and contribute towards twice annual reporting requirements to Irish Aid. The capturing and sharing of data to track the level of GCE engagement at post-primary level is of central importance for this role.

The role requires excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills to work with a wide range of schools and stakeholders, and to collaborate effectively with other members of the WWGS team, as well as using own initiative.
