Schools Development Officer

The Schools Development Officer is a new and exciting role. The successful applicant will work with colleagues (including national office staff and volunteers) to develop and implement strategies to increase access to equality-based school places nationally, in line with Educate Together’s Strategic Goals and the Government’s reconfiguration plan to transfer schools from religious to multi-denominational patronage. The Schools Development Officer will work with communities to establish new Educate Together schools where possible, as well as supporting the transfer of existing schools to Educate Together patronage.

This full-time position requires an enthusiastic self-starter, with good insight and
experience of the education sector. Educate Together recognises the benefits of diversity and welcome applications from people with minority identities and/or backgrounds.

The successful candidate will join the national office team of Educate Together, the representative body for Ireland’s equality-based school network of 96 primary and 21 post-primary schools. As a registered charity, Educate Together has a proud reputation as an inclusive educational organisation with the principles of equality, democracy and child-centeredness at its core.
