This position is permanent and is for a teaching Deputy Principal. The appointment will be made via open competition (Roll number: 15285D).

Circular 0044/2019 states:
'While the Principal is ultimately responsible to the Board of Management, as appropriate, for the leadership and management of the school, the Deputy Principal occupies a position of vital importance within the senior leadership team in a school. Shared leadership requires openness and willingness on the part of Principals and Deputy Principals to share and distribute leadership and management responsibilities in a manner that encourages and supports partnership. The Deputy Principal co-operates with the Principal in the fulfilment of the Principal's role and acts or deputises as the Principal in the Principal's absence'.

Specific Roles and Responsibilities for this position relate to the four domains of Leadership and Management as outlined in Circular 0044/2019 as follows:

1. Leading teaching and learning
2. Managing the organisation

4. Developing Leadership Capacity

Shortlisting and the interview process will be based on the four domains.
