Applications are invited from suitably qualified persons for a post primary teacher for the Children’s Health Ireland Hospital School, Temple Street, Dublin 1 under a Fixed Term Contract of Employment with an expected commencement date of September 2026.
The National Children’s Hospital School is committed to the provision of an appropriate learning environment within the hospital. The education provided will be determined by the age profile of the children attending (ranging from 4 to 18 years), allowing patients the opportunity to continue schooling whilst receiving their prescribed treatments. The role of the hospital school is to provide students access to high quality education that is appropriate and holistic to the needs of each pupil. Pupils are facilitated in continuing their current programmes of education and in sitting their state examinations by providing exam centres. Religious education and faith formation will not be included. The dedicated school; with various classroom types, staff spaces and Principals’ office, will incorporate a range of educational services in a stimulating environment that is conducive to learning and that is medically equipped to cater for children on ventilator support and other mobile electronic medical equipment. It will be fully wheelchair and disability compliant. Additionally, schoolrooms will be provided in a number of the inpatient units to cater for children unable to attend the main school due to clinical treatments.

The school will be a co-educational, multi-denominational school underpinned by the core ETB values of Excellence in Education, Care, Equality, Community and Respect. The curricular expression which underpins the ETB values will be taught in the school. For primary students this is Goodness Me, Goodness You, and for the post-primary students, Identify, Multi-Belief and Values Education. The school is designated under Primary Schools and operates on the Primary School hours and Calendar year.
