An internal panel of suitable applicants may be set up to fill vacancies which may occur within a specific time period (four months for teacher posts and the duration of the school year for SNA posts) from the date on which the Board approves the successful candidate.

c. Applications are invited for the post of Teaching Deputy Principal in SS Peter and Paul JNS. This is a permanent position in a teaching capacity that will be appointed by open competition. To be eligible for consideration, candidates must be fully registered with the Teaching Council under Route 1 (Primary) and must have a minimum of five years teaching experience, two of which must be in a recognised primary school within the Republic of Ireland.

The school has a Catholic ethos and is under the patronage of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. The appointee will become part of the leadership and management team in the school, and the overall responsibility of the Deputy is to assist the Principal in the management and continued growth of the school.

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

• In accordance with Circular 0044/2019, it should be noted that as the needs of the school continuously evolve, a review of duties may result in the reassignment of the roles and responsibilities within the leadership and management team. The responsibilities of the role will, at times, require the successful candidate to participate in the leadership role outside of the standard school day. Besides the discharge of specific administrative and management duties, the Deputy Principal also exercises a leadership and motivational role in the direction of the school enterprise. Together, the Principal and Deputy Principal form the senior management team of the school and they must work in tandem to fulfil the aims and objectives of the school.

The Deputy Principal may be required to deputise for the Principal in their absence (may involve short/longer terms), in all matters organisational / administrative and in relation to discipline within the school.
