POST DETAILS

Additional Information:
This post is to recruit 2 Graduate and/or PME students for our summer programme. As the guidance indicates – “Schools can recruit up to two student teachers from the 3rd week in May 2024 (or on completion of exams) until the end of the school based summer programme. This will allow student teachers to gain valuable relevant experience in a special education setting and will assist special schools during a very busy period in their school year. It will also assist with familiarisation and preparation leading into a summer programme.”

The School Based Summer Programme (SBSP) will be running from Monday 1st July to Friday 12th July for four hours per day.

Abacas Special School is a special school for pupils aged 4-18 years of age with a diagnosis of Autism and complex needs. Pupils are grouped in classrooms of 6 and have access to 4 SNAs per class. Abacas is evidence based and implements individualised educational and behavioural programmes for all pupils. Abacas follows the primary school curriculum and has also adopted the L1LP and L2LP Junior Cycle curriculum for pupils of secondary school age.

The successful applicants must meet the following criteria:

Graduate Teachers
Where the registration process with the Teaching Council has commenced, the graduate teacher must:
1. Have received their final results from their HEI confirming they are eligible for registration with the Teaching Council.
2. Have their Garda vetting completed as part of their application for registration with the Teaching Council.
3. Have their registration with the Council finalised prior to 04 October 2024.
Teachers who are registered under Primary Route 1 can only be paid the primary qualified rate from the registration date as advised by the Teaching Council. Otherwise, the unqualified rate will apply.

PME Student Teachers
Applies to student teachers, who have registered with the Teaching Council under Route 3 – Further Education, who can work on the summer programme.
PME student teachers currently in Year 1 of the programme, who have applied for registration with the Teaching Council under Further Education, can be engaged by special schools if:
1. Garda vetting has been completed as part of their application for registration with the Teaching Council.
2. Their registration with the Council under Further Education will be finalised prior to 04 October 2024.
PME student teachers who are registered with the Teaching Council under the Further Education route will be paid at the unqualified rate for the duration of the internship.

Please send, via email only, a letter of application outlining relevant experience, your vision for working on the summer programme and why you would like to be considered for the position.
