BACKGROUND

Archways is a national organisation that works in collaboration with local and national agencies. We research, develop, and promote evidence-based and evidence-informed programmes for children, young people, parents and the professionals that support them. Our programmes begin with antenatal support and provide a series of interventions for young people under the age of 18 and their families. Archways has been a recipient of funding from basis.point, the charity of the Irish funds industry, since 2014. This relationship has enabled us to expand our reach and roll-out evidence-based and evidence-informed programmes to children, young people, educators and other professionals in areas such as Cork, Dublin, Kilkenny, Limerick, Waterford, Fingal, Wexford, Kildare and Meath.

JOB PURPOSE

The main purpose of the role is to facilitate programmes to Primary Schools as part of the basis.point initiative, in particular the KiVa Anti Bullying Programme. This includes planning and development of training programmes, training co-ordination, programme delivery, and programme evaluation. A key element of the basis.point initiative is an innovative approach whereby we partner with local agencies in each area, which allows us to identify local priorities and agree and implement a local training plan in each area we work in. The Programme Facilitator will work as part of the wider basis.point initiative and Archways team to ensure the delivery of high quality, strengths-based programmes.
