If you are newly qualified you need to register with the Teaching Council, this is normally done through your college but if you are returning from England you will need to get in contact with the Teaching Council to get this sorted. The Teaching Council will supply you with a Garda Vetting form which needs to be returned with your registration application. Get this done as soon as possible as it can take up to 8+ weeks to get this in place during busy times of the year.
Here is the complete list of items which can be requested as part of a job application. Make sure you have these copied and certified where necessary or in digital format (scanned) for email applications. Links are provided where available.
- Standard Application Form (Personalise for each school and change the date)
