Job Vacancies: Education Officers (1 full-time, 1 part-time)

Would you like to contribute to shaping and advancing education policy at a key time for Traveller and Roma education in Ireland?

As work progresses on the implementation of the national Traveller and Roma Education Strategy (TRES), to which Pavee Point has made a significant contribution, we are seeking someone with a strong commitment to human rights, equality and social justice, and experience in policy development, research and advocacy. The role offers an opportunity to influence policy and practice to advance equality of access, participation and outcomes across the education system. Pavee Point invites you to apply to join our dynamic Education Programme.

Our Education Programme aims to address educational disadvantage experienced by Travellers and Roma and works in partnership with key stakeholders towards creating conditions for greater uptake and improved outcomes for Travellers and Roma across all educational levels. Through our work we aim to influence policy, education services and systems, and support Traveller organisations and Roma networks. The work is underpinned by collective community development approaches to addressing Traveller and Roma educational issues and promoting the right to education.

There are 2 Education Officer positions available, one full-time and one part-time (3 days per week) with some flexibility depending on the right candidates. The length of the contract is subject to funding, and a probationary period will apply.
