Special Needs Assistant Panel 2024 - 2025

Galway & Roscommon Education & Training Board (GRETB) wishes to form a panel for posts of whole time and part-time Special Needs Assistants which may arise within GRETB schools during the school year 2024 - 2025.

The Special Needs Assistant (SNA) provides the necessary non-teaching services to pupils with assessed educational needs. They act in a care and support role that is non-teaching in nature. Their duties are assigned by the Principal acting on behalf of the Board of Management/ETB. Their work is supervised either by the Principal or another teacher as determined by the Principal. The SNA’s primary function is to ensure the care and support needs of the students are met on a daily basis.

Further information, including requirements, competencies, and duties is available in the attached Information Booklet.
