Carmona School is located in Dun Laoghaire and caters for pupils with severe or profound general learning disabilities aged 4-18 years. We have a whole school approach to Positive Behaviour Supports and we also follow a Total Communication approach.

We are a small and dynamic school team of 8 teachers and 21 SNAs, that values collaboration in the classroom as well as in the planning and assessment process. Following years of this collaborative approach, the school now has a suite of resources that are incorporated into a package to support new staff joining the team to ensure a positive transition to our unique setting.

Carmona School has a full-time HSE Multi-Disciplinary Team attached to the school. Currently on campus we are supported by a full-time Occupational Therapist, a full-time Speech and Language Therapist, a part-time Physiotherapist and a part-time Behaviour Support Specialist. These therapists work with our school pupils ensuring that vital inputs and supports are readily available to our classroom teams of teachers and SNAs.

Experience of working with pupils with special needs is preferrable.

Details of Teaching Council Registration and relevant certificates should be provided.
