The Board of Management of Goatstown ETNS invites applications for the position of Deputy Principal. This is a permanent position commencing on Monday, 25th August 2025, appointed through open competition and in line with Circular 0044/2019.

Goatstown ETNS opened in 2019 and is a growing, values-based Educate Together school. We are committed to equality, inclusion and restorative practice. Relationships are central to how we work, and our staff team gathers each morning for a brief check-in to support collaboration and connection.

- Is committed to inclusive, child-centred education
- Has experience or interest in restorative practices
- Demonstrates strong interpersonal, organisational and communication skills
