Goatstown/Stillorgan Educate Together National School was opened in September 2019 and has been rapidly developing since its foundation. We are a restorative, equality & values based primary school that is committed to: Building relationships; Responding to conflict in a healthy way; Connecting us to our best selves and to each other.

Our school is a mainstream, vertical primary school with Junior Infants, Senior Infants, First Class and Second Class for the academic year 2022/2023.

The Board of Management invites applicants for the position of Deputy Principal. This is a permanent position and the appointment will be made via open competition. The Deputy Principal will work with the Principal and the In School Management Team to support and develop effective leadership within the school.

Specific Roles and Responsibilities for this position relate to the four domains of Leadership and Management as outlined in circular 0044/2019 as follows:

1. Leading Teaching and Learning
2. Managing the Organisation
3. Leading School Development
4. Developing Leadership Capacity

We wish to recruit a school leader who understand the Educate Together ethos and who would like to be involved in developing a model of inclusive, diverse and equality-based education for our school community.

The ideal candidates for our school will be fully committed to creative and collaborative teaching, learning & assessment and to developing a strong co-curricular and extra-curricular culture.

There will be prospects for CPD and our school management are dedicated to working with all members of staff on their professional goals in a nurturing and supportive environment.

We believe that this is a unique opportunity to become a leader in a small but growing team and to help lay the foundations for the future direction of the school. It is important to note that the successful candidates will need to demonstrate a great deal of flexibility as we are in the very early stages of our development.

Experience working in a developing school and a multi-cultural setting would be beneficial.
