Our aim is to create an inclusive, safe, fun, engaging environment in which the pupils can learn. The school often serves as a distraction from their hospital stay.
We adhere to both the Primary and post-primary curriculum but are predominantly pupil-led. Each pupil has varying educational and medical needs, we facilitate this as best we can during their hospital stay.
Roles and responsibilities for this post are set out in the domains of Leadership & Management (Circular 0044/2019)

In addition, the following knowledge/skills and experiences are desirable:

• An in-depth knowledge of the Primary Curriculum and previous teaching experience across a range of classes is desirable.
• Understanding and knowledge of Special Educational Needs, inclusion and diversity in education. Experience working with pupils with additional needs is a plus.
• Experience working with post-primary pupils and/or experience working within a hospital setting is desirable but not essential.
• Gaeilge – caighdeán maith Gaeilge riachtanach.

The successful candidate will begin the maternity leave at the end of September (date TBC) but will be asked to come in and shadow the principal prior to commencing the maternity leave. These will be paid substitution days. Full training will be provided.
