About CE:

Community Employment programmes are designed to help people get back to work by offering part-time and temporary placements in jobs based in local communities. The scheme is supported by the Department of Social Protection. Community employment provides training that is delivered within a Quality Assurance framework (QQI) and work experience to long term unemployed people and people who are eligible to participate. Those on CE work for an average of 19.5 hours a week. Eligibility rules and conditions apply.

Please provide an updated copy of your C.V, your phone number and email address to Joanne when applying as she will need to contact you regarding your application and any queries she may have. For more detailed information on Community Employment Scheme please visit www.gov.ie.
