Professional Opportunities
The postholder will coordinate the design, delivery, and evaluation of education and outreach activities for primary and post-primary school students as part of the SCSS Schools Outreach team. They will also contribute to the team in areas including student recruitment, communications with teachers, and liaising with and reporting to funders.
Context
The SCSS Schools Outreach team (run in conjunction with the Trinity Access Programmes) provides a range of supports and activities for the students and staff in 40 primary and secondary schools. This includes the CodePlus and Bridge to College programmes, CodePlus talks, and other outreach activities. Activities are targeted at schools which either have DEIS status or are located in areas with low rates of progression to further education.
The CodePlus programme aims to promote Computer Science to teenage girls via active, project-based coding workshops and a series of career talks delivered by female tech professionals. Each year, over 200 students take part in coding workshops as part of CodePlus. The Bridge to College programme aims to introduce young students to working and learning in a university environment, raising the students’ aspirations regarding third level education, and helping the students develop the skills and confidence to succeed in this setting. Each year, approximately 370 students take part in Bridge to College.
This is a specific purpose contract. The specific purpose is to coordinate and deliver outreach programmes for Secondary School students, in particular the CodePlus and Bridge to College programmes. This employment is not offered on an indefinite basis as the project is finite. Termination of this contract will occur on completion of the work in which you are engaged in, or in the event of the funding stream being terminated or withdrawn by the funding agency.
Closing Date: 17th July 2025
