Construction & Materials Technology Wood Teacher

Éire Ed is recruiting a Construction & Materials Technology Teacher for a full-time, permanent position at a well-regarded Irish-speaking secondary school in Co. Kildare. This is an excellent opportunity for a practical, hands-on educator to take ownership of a well-supported subject area while teaching motivated students in a close-knit school community.

You will teach Construction Studies and Materials Technology (Wood) across a range of year groups from 1st Year through to Leaving Certificate. As the sole teacher within the department, the role offers a high level of autonomy and the chance to shape programmes, projects, and workshop culture in a meaningful way. Small class sizes, all under 20 students, allow teachers to build strong relationships and create an engaging, productive learning environment.

The school has a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere, with a strong emphasis on student respect, participation, and positive relationships. Students are known for their excellent behaviour and strong engagement in practical subjects, making this an enjoyable and rewarding environment for teachers who are passionate about hands-on learning.

As an all-Irish-speaking school, a good level of Irish is expected for this role. Candidates do not need to be fully fluent, but should feel comfortable working through Irish in the classroom and be motivated to continue developing their language skills with support from the school community.

This position would suit both experienced teachers and those earlier in their careers looking for a long-term opportunity with stability, independence, and the chance to become an important part of a supportive school environment in Co. Kildare.
