Places of Sanctuary Ireland is  seeking a part-time Sanctuary in Education Coordinator to work on a new project, ‘Sanctuary in Education – Stronger Together’,  with Places of Sanctuary Ireland’s (PoSI) education streams. The role will grow and consolidate the unique PoSI culture of integration in both the ‘Schools of Sanctuary’ and the ‘Universities of Sanctuary’ streams and explore the possibility of a new ‘Colleges of Sanctuary’ stream. 

Places of Sanctuary Ireland (PoSI) is a network of groups and local communities which share the objectives of promoting a culture of welcome and inclusiveness  across every sphere and sector of society in Ireland, so that wherever people seeking sanctuary go they will feel safe, find people who welcome them and understand why they are here, and have opportunities to be included in all activities.

PoSI works through community groups, schools and higher education institutions, faith groups, libraries and other organisations in the belief that these newcomers have a huge amount to offer Irish society.  We want to ensure that their voices are heard and that their skills and talents are given an opportunity to flourish for their good and for that of Irish society as a whole.
