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.

NCH Special School is a two-teacher Hospital School that caters for Primary and post-primary pupils who are in-patients in the hospital. We work both in the school classroom and bedside on the wards.

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.

Please note:
We are looking for a fully qualified and registered Primary school teacher (Route 1) to join our staff. This is a full-time permanent position.

Interviews for the position will include (but are not limited to) the following criteria:
• Experience working in a hospital setting is desirable.
• Experience working with students in a Special Education/Special School
settings is beneficial.
• Experience working with post primary pupils is high desirable.


To apply you must be registered with the teaching council.
