What does the Roots of Empathy project do?
Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based programme that has shown significant effect in reducing levels of aggression among school children by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. At the heart of the programme is a baby and parent who visit the classroom every three weeks over the school year. A trained Roots of Empathy Instructor coaches students to observe the baby's development and to label the baby's feelings. In this experiential learning, the baby is the "Teacher", which the instructor uses to help children identify and reflect on their own feelings and the feelings of others.The programme is universal, can be delivered in any class in the primary cycle and contains 9 themes, spread out over 27 class room visits, with the instructor meeting the class pre and post the family visit to prepare and reinforce lessons using a specialised plan for each visit.
Barnardos has been the Lead Agency, managing the delivery of Roots of Empathy in Ireland since 2011 and the programme is currently operating in over 100 classes in primary schools across the country.

Where does the work take place?
This role will expand the Barnardos Roots of Empathy Programme to 90 schools across counties Cork and Waterford over a three year period.

How will the working hours be annualised?
In this role there are various peaks and troughs of demand, the co-ordinator will be required to work in excess of 32 hours per week at times and will have the benefit of reduced hours when schools are closed.

Who do we work with?
Barnardos staff locally, regionally and nationally. The Barnardos Roots of Empathy national office and the Roots of Empathy international office, Instructors, statutory, voluntary and community agencies, Principals, Class Teachers and other school personnel and Roots of Empathy families.
