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:
Citywest ETNS is a primary school operating under the Educate Together ethos. We are a mainstream vertical school with one primary-age and one Early Intervention Class for Children with Autism.
The vacancy is for a maternity cover from 12th April to 8th October 2021. The post is for 0.5 of a full-time contract. The hours are completed over 5 days per week.
Immediate duties for the post will be in the primary-age Class for Children with Autism. However, the successful candidate can be allocated to any SNA role in the school at any time, at the discretion of the school principal. This includes mainstream classes as well as either Class for Children with Autism.
Being a caring school is important to us and therefore teamwork, 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 (32 teachers, 12 SNAs, secretary, administrators, bus escorts, caretaker and cleaners) 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 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 in a class for children with ASD
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
