The successful candidates will work a minimum of 6 days per month, reporting to the Irish Aid Centre Coordinator. Working hours are agreed in advance with the Coordinator and are flexible where possible.  

This role is an excellent opportunity for facilitators who enjoy working with a range of groups, are flexible in their working arrangements and are keen to pursue their professional development as part of a small dynamic team.  

The role is a fixed term, part time contract position, until September 2026, with possibility of extension. The successful candidate(s) will work a minimum of 6 days per month, both half and/or full days. The number of days worked may vary from month to month depending on the needs of the Irish Aid Centre, and days will be rostered on a monthly basis. Role holders will typically work less during school holiday periods. The normal working hours will be 7 hours a day or 3.5 hours for a half a day. 

All offers will be dependent on Garda vetting and vetting through the Department of Foreign Affairs.  

When working in the Irish Aid Centre the facilitators’ work normally relates to delivery of 90-minute workshops which take place at 10.00am and 12 noon each day, with workshops occasionally at 14.00 or 14.30. On half days when there is only one workshop booking, or when there is a cancellation, they would also be expected to assist the Coordinator with administrative work.  

Internet access is essential for this role. The position requires some working from home, providing live workshops to primary, post-primary and third level students, in addition to some pre-recorded workshops. Facilitators are expected to prepare scripts and presentations based on Irish Aid content and subsequently record themselves delivering these workshops from home. Laptops are provided to staff members.
