The Board of Management welcomes applications from experienced SNAs (Additional Needs Assistants - ANAs) who are enthusiastic about working with children with additional needs in our Mainstream and Autism Classes.

Killester Raheny Clontarf ETNS is a developing mainstream primary school which opened in 2019 under the Educate Together ethos. Next year sees the school with classes in Junior Infants – Sixth Class and Two Autism Classes.

We value respect, diversity, equity and inclusion and promote a collaborative approach to education which promotes positive and respectful relationships among all stakeholders. Our school values all team members equally and Additional Needs Assistants are an integral part of the school community.

We are growing a Restorative school whose values are very much in line with the RP FRIENDS Values. As an ANA joining our dedicated team, these positions are a fantastic opportunity to work in our school.

We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and committed ANA who will play a key role in the growth of our developing school. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience of working with Autistic children and who are willing to collaborate positively with our dynamic team for the benefit of the children in their care. An understanding of the Educate Together ethos and the use of positive behaviour strategies is beneficial.

The successful candidate for this position will be appointed to work with pupils in our Mainstream and Autism Classes. Candidates should be willing to engage in professional development to enhance their role. They will also be subject to current vetting requirements.
