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.

NCH Special School is a two-teacher Hospital School that caters for Primary and post-primary pupils who are in-patients in the hospital. There is a full-time SNA and a part-time secretary working in the school also.

Our aim is to create an inclusive, safe, fun, engaging environment in which the pupils can learn. The school often serves as a distraction from their hospital stay.
We adhere to both the Primary and post-primary curriculum but are predominantly pupil-led. Each pupil has varying educational and medical needs; we facilitate this as best we can during their hospital stay.
Teachers are employed as Special Class Teachers, and have the same pay, school holidays and conditions as Primary Teachers.
We are looking for a second primary teacher to join our staff. This is a full-time permanent position.
Interviews for the position will include (but are not limited to) the following criteria:
• Experience working in a hospital setting is desirable.
• Experience and/or qualifications in a Special Education/Special School settings are desirable but not essential.
• Experience and/or qualifications teaching post primary pupils and a willingness to teach a wide range of subjects and levels are also high desirable.

To apply you must be registered with the teaching council.
Application closing date: 16th September.
