Education Officer Ireland (East and North East)

The WWGS Education Officer (EO) will have responsibility for supporting WWGS schools in the North-East Region to engage in and deepen their understanding of Global Citizenship Education at post-primary. They will play a key role in supporting schools to effectively utilise all available WWGS supports and in monitoring the progress of schools and their GCE programme. The Education Officer will have responsibility for supporting schools to engage with the programme through the WWGS Global Passport, a framework for educators to understand Global Citizenship Education and how it fits both within the post-primary curriculum and beyond the curriculum.

The EO will provide Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for schools, through design and delivery, ensuring that schools are equipped to engage in quality GCE through various WWGS supports and interventions (one-to-one teacher support, tailored staff inputs and whole-staff training, both in-person and online) along with national/regional CPD.

The EO will assist in monitoring the progress of the WWGS programme towards meeting its overall strategic aim and objectives and contribute towards annual reporting requirements to Irish Aid. The capturing and sharing of data to track the level of GCE engagement at post-primary level is of central importance for this role.

The role requires using own initiative and requires excellent facilitation, communication, organisational and interpersonal skills to work with a wide range of schools and stakeholders, and to collaborate effectively with other members of the WWGS team.
