POST DETAILS
Panel of Applicants:
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.
Additional Information:
Owenabue ETNS is a developing mainstream primary school, in our first year of operation, under the Educate Together ethos in temporary accommodation. We currently have 1 Junior Infant Class and will grow vertically to 16 mainstream classes plus special classes over the coming years.
Please note that Owenabue ETNS uses the term "Additional" rather than "Special" and so the successful candidate will be referred to as an "Additional Needs Assistant (ANA)" rather than a "Special Needs Assistant (SNA)".
The vacancy is for our 1st ANA post. The post is for 0.83 of a full-time contract.
ANAs can be allocated to any ANA role in the school at any time, at the discretion of the school principal. Being a caring school is important to us and therefore collaboration, innovation, communication and collegiality are vital to be successful on our team. In valuing the core principles of Educate Together, team-work is core to everything that we do, with all staff members (currently 1 teacher, 1 SET teacher, 1 ANA and Secretary) respected as professionals and part of the learning, teaching and caring team.
Criteria for this position are as follows:
1. Relevant qualifications and experience - Applicants must have the minimum qualification necessary for appointment as a Special Needs Assistant, which is an award of Grade D (or pass) in Irish, English and Mathematics in the Intermediate Certificate/Junior Certificate or the Day Vocational Certificate Examination or in an examination of equivalent standard. An additional qualification in additional/special needs care and/or education, including autism or a related area is highly advantageous. Additional childcare and/or other relevant qualifications or courses (e.g. First Aid, Manual Handling, Positive Behaviour Support Strategies, PECS, etc) would be highly desirable.
2. Knowledge and experience of working with children with Autism and/or sensory processing disorder
3. Knowledge and experience of working with pupils in a mainstream setting with ASD, EBD, ODD, ADHD, school refusal, Down Syndrome, Deaf community, Dyspraxia and/or intimate care needs would be highly advantageous.
4. Flexibility, team work and initiative
5. Communication and personal values relevant to our school ethos.
Candidates submitting a PF1 form must do so at the time of application.
Applications via email only. Do not post a hard copy of your application to the school - it will be shredded and not considered.
Applications should be on the standard application form only, sent in PDF format and not zipped.
Interviews are expected to take place in December 2020.
