Job opportunities with Manx educational charity, Mooinjer Veggey

Mooinjer Veggey is an educational charity which exists to promote the knowledge and use of Manx Gaelic among young people. Established in 1996, it currently runs 'Possan Cloie' (play group), a nursery in St. John's, and supports the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh. Their aim is to provide education with or through the Manx language, giving children the advantages of learning a second language at an early age.
