West Cork Sudbury School is part of a movement towards a very
different model of education, where students have an equal part in the
democratic running of the school itself and where they decide what,
when and how they learn. We give equal value to all types of
intelligence and believe that students should be allowed to
self-direct their learning by trusting their own intuition without
following a prescribed curriculum.
As a democratic school, students and staff have an equal say in the
workings of the school, displaying a belief in and sensitivity to the
process. THE ABILITY TO SELF-DIRECT YOUR WORK INDEPENDENTLY IS
NECESSARY, AS IS THE ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A CLOSE TEAM WHILST
STILL BEING PROACTIVE.
A YOUTH WORK BACKGROUND would be a great advantage as AN AWARENESS OF
BOUNDARIES ARE NECESSARY in working with young people. A passion for
working with young people is essential as is the RESILIENCE AND
PROFESSIONALISM that this position demands.
Applicants should be familiar with the Sudbury Democratic,
Self-directed education model as they act as a steward in the everyday
workings of the school.
These positions will be based at the school buildings in Coomhoola,
Co. Cork and surrounding land. Initial contract will be for a 6-month
probationary period. With reviews at 3 and 6 months. Contract will
then be extended if both parties are happy to move forward.
Applications, in the form of COVER LETTER AND UP-TO-DATE CV, will be
accepted by email to **APPLY ON THE WEBSITE**.
Written references are welcome, which will be followed up with a phone
call to referee.
Please visit our website and familiarise yourself about the school and
this model of education.
