Forbhreathnú ar an ról

Tá Pobal Éireann Wikimedia ag earcú Oifigeach Gaeilge chun an Ghaeilge a thacú agus a fhorbairt ar fud tionscadail Wikimedia, le fócas ar leith ar an Vicipéid, Wikipedia na Gaeilge.

Baineann an obair laethúil le tacú le heagarthóireacht Vicipéide, cruthú ábhair i nGaeilge, rannpháirtíocht phobail, chomh maith le for-rochtain oideachasúil agus cultúrtha ar fud na hÉireann. Oibríonn PÉW le comhpháirtithe ar fud na hEorpa agus go hidirnáisiúnta - de réir mar a fhorbraíonn an t-iarrthóir rathúil sa ról, ceanglóidh an tOifigeach Gaeilge leis an líonra níos leithne sin freisin.

Ní gá taithí roimhe seo le Wikimedia. Cuirtear oiliúint iomlán ar fáil.

Príomhfhreagrachtaí

Forbairt agus cúram ábhair

Déan taighde, scríobh, agus cuir eagar ar ábhar Gaeilge. Cinntigh go gcomhlíonann an t-ábhar caighdeáin cruinnis teanga, neodrachta, agus foinsithe.

For-rochtain oideachasúil

Cuir ceardlanna oiliúna struchtúrtha ar fáil ar líne agus go pearsanta do raon grúpaí éagsúla, lena n-áirítear scoileanna, grúpaí óige, ollscoileanna, agus eagraíochtaí pobail.

Rannpháirtíocht phobail

Tacaigh le pobal eagarthóirí na Vicipéide. Cuidigh le rannpháirtithe nua. Glac páirt in imeachtaí eagarthóireachta PÉW agus cuidigh lena n-eagrú.

Comhpháirtíochtaí cultúrtha

Tacaigh le hobair GLAM PÉW le dánlanna, leabharlanna, cartlanna, agus músaeim. Comhordaíonn an Bainisteoir Pobail an obair seo leis an bhfoireann agus leis an bpobal deonach.

Cumarsáid agus ábhar

Cruthaigh ábhar Gaeilge do bhlag, meáin shóisialta, agus cumarsáid PÉW, ag obair laistigh de chaighdeáin eagarthóireachta PÉW. Tacaítear leis an mBéarla más gá.

Ailíniú Straitéiseach

Cur i bhfeidhm na bpleananna straitéiseacha (2025–2030 faoi láthair) maidir le for-rochtain agus forbairt na Gaeilge inár dtionscadail. Straitéisí nua agus pleanáil a fhorbairt maidir le for-rochtain, cur chun cinn, agus comhtháthú na Gaeilge.

Scileanna riachtanacha

• Scileanna láidre TF. Compordach le teicneolaíocht, uirlisí atá ríomh-bhunaithe, agus le hardáin nua a fhoghlaim. Taithí ar Google Workspace riachtanach.

• Eagraithe, iontaofa, agus in ann obair go neamhspleách i dtimpeallacht chianoibre.
• Fíorshuim san eolas oscailte agus i gcur chun cinn na Gaeilge sa spás digiteach.

Taithí inmhianaithe

• Eolas ar chearta teanga, agus ar phobail teanga mhionlaigh eile
• Naisc leis an earnáil Ghaeilge, ag obair le heagraíochtaí tábhachtacha agus le pobail Ghaeltachta

• Eolas ar an earnáil GLAM nó ar thimpeallacht neamhbhrabúsach/foinse oscailte

• Clár struchtúrtha ionduchtúcháin 6 mhí
• Rochtain ar líonra pobail PÉW agus ar chomhpháirtíochtaí Eorpacha agus idirnáisiúnta Wikimedia
