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.

St. Joseph’s Special school is looking for applications for Bus Escorts for a number of routes starting in Tallaght, and surrounding areas (some to start immediately). Most routes take from two to three hours daily and transport students with a wide range of special needs. Applicants would need to be available in the morning before school and after school. The current hourly rate, set by the Department of Education, is €15.66 per hour. Duties will include escorting children to and from St Joseph's Special School, assisting children to board and alight safely from the school transport, ensuring that all children are seated with appropriate straps and harnesses where provided and ensuring that each pupil is received by some responsible person at the set down point. Previous experience working with children with special needs would be an advantage but is not essential. All Bus Escort will have to be Garda vetted by the school.

If interested please get in touch by phone (01 451 5961) or email (admin@sjss.ie)

Applications should be in writing with CV to Bus Escort Applications, St. Joseph’s Special School, Balrothery Tallaght, Dublin 24, or by email to admin@sjss.ie
