Coco the teaching dog!Dogs Trust is currently seeking an Education Officer based in Munster to help administer the Youth Education Programme in and around their area. Please download the job description, which includes details on making an application.

This is Coco. Along with our education team, Coco visits schools, and youth groups / clubs to deliver free, interactive workshops for 5 – 12 year olds.

Our education team uses the topic of dog ownership as a means to help pupils develop self-esteem, confidence, responsibility, communication and teamwork skills.

The workshops are designed to be flexible and we will do as much as possible to meet your school’s requirements. Our canine themes have included focussing on a dog’s needs (the five freedoms), discussing careers at Dogs Trust and learning about safety around dogs.

Bursting with ideas, our Youth Education Programme offers a fresh perspective on looking after dogs with stimulating activities and comprehensive teacher guidance.
