Teaching in Ireland

[Alittlelost0]

Hello irish mumsnetters!
I am after some of your wisdom.
I am a English and last summer recently relocated back to the West of Ireland where DH is from.
I was a secondary teacher in England, working specially in small SEN schools and I am looking to get back to something in the near future. I need to know if there is a specific special place where teaching jobs are advertised in Ireland? Googling isn't helping too much.

Also is there any tricks or tips on getting registered for the teaching council in Ireland? I've started my application but just wondering if anyone had any help they could volunteer.

And finally, we have three small kids. The eldest is 5 and in junior infants and the other two are home with me (one is a baby so I'm working on how I would leave her in the future as she is BF) so what do people do for childcare and so on?
Is a nanny in house our best option?
We don't have loads of money so I need to earn a bit but mainly thinking of earning with future potential.
I hope I've given enough info for people to be able to advise me a little. Any info or experiences welcome 🙏
Thanks a mil!

Hahaha I am a English 🤣 I meant I am English...

UK teacher in Ireland this may help. I am not sure if secondary teachers are bound to having Irish.

I'm not Irish but I work with some Irish teachers overseas - those who tell me they qualified in England say they cannot work in Ireland because their qualification isn't 'valid' in some way and also because they have to pass a certificate to be able to teach the Irish language. This is primary, though. Might be different for secondary.

Hi. My next door neighbour is a secondary school teacher from the UK. They registered with the Teaching Council of Ireland. That took a while. Teaching posts are usually advertised on Educationposts.ie. Have a look there and it will give you an idea of jobs available in your area. Now they are a Maths and Physics teacher and were qualified to teach to A levels. They got a job very quickly after they got registration. As for childcare, ask around most people use a crèche or a childminder. I know many childminders love teacher kids as they don’t work holidays.

There’s no tips and tricks for getting registered, you just fill it all in, send in the documents, pay the fees and wait for it all to go through. It will take time though.
in terms of work it all depends on what subjects you teach as to how many jobs are around. Also it’s not like the U.K. where you apply for a full time job, you have to work up hours to get a full time , permanent job that is yours and then you are pretty much stuck in that job unless you want to go through the process again as such.
