upcoming CE Project Worker position through Gateway goes live today 21st May!

Dear Members and Friends,

We have a Project Worker position becoming available through Gateway’s CE scheme which some of you might be interested in.

For more information click on Community Employment (CE) and Job & Person Spec for Gateway

If interested in applying, it is very important that you check in with your local INTREO office (local social welfare office) beforehand to see if you are eligible  – list of offices here: http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Intreo---Contact-Information.aspx

It is also advisable to inform yourself about how a change to CE would affect your current and future social welfare payment if you were successful.  We advise phoning the head office of your social welfare payment section (see list below and here) to ask how the CE payment would affect your social welfare payment including any secondary benefits. 

How do I apply?

First Steps:

1.    Read the information about the job and community employment.

2.    Check www.jobsireland.ie  for the Project Worker for Gateway Mental Health Association. Advertised from today Thursday 21st May until 5th June.

3.    Make a note of the job reference code: Ref. ES-940009.

4.    Contact INTREO/ Employment Services Office about the job and tell them the job reference code you want to apply for.

5.   Arrange a meeting with the Employment Services Officer and ask to be put forward for referral to the CE Scheme Sponsor. (Again a list of these offices are here: http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Intreo---Contact-Information.aspx)
6. Candidates on the referral list will be contacted by Fionn in early June for shortlisting and to submit their CV and cover letter.

Follow On Steps:

• Update your CV and write a letter of application for the position.  NOTE: This is not needed for INTREO but later on for shortlisting.
• If on the referral list, you will be contacted and asked to provide your current CV and letter of application according the the job spec in June.
• Shortlisting will be done on the basis of the letter of application and CV received by 12th June.
• If shortlisted, an interview will be offered to you and will take place in mid June with Fionn and Siobhan the CE Supervisor and one other.
• If successful, the new Project Worker will start on Monday 27^th July.

Please be aware that the job will be open to applications from 21st May – Friday 5th June 2015 only. 

If anyone needs a hand with their CV, I would advise approaching your local employment service as they can be very helpful and supportive (http://www.localemploymentservices.ie/ )

Best wishes and good luck to everybody interested,

Fionn
