Government & Civil Service Jobs Nationwide

Newstalk recently reported:Unique &#39;Earn and Learn&#39; apprenticeship enables apprentices to carve out a career in a professional and dynamic industry full of possibilities.As businesses go through their greatest period of disruption in decades following the pandemic, companies are increasingly turning to apprenticeships as a fresh way to attract and develop talent.There has been a surge in the number of apprenticeships being offered across all business sectors in Ireland in the past few years. Apprenticeships can help to fill skills gaps in a very cost effective manner, while also nurturing future talent.One of Ireland&#39;s top apprenticeship programmes is <a href="https://earnandlearn.ie/">The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship</a>. Established in 2016, it is Ireland&#39;s first &#39;earn and learn&#39; honours degree programme, designed to future-proof the insurance sector.<h2>Earn and learn</h2>The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship offers participants the chance to work in a full-time salaried position with an insurance employer while studying for their honours degree (BA Hons in Insurance Practice).The programme is open to insurance employees looking to upskill in the industry, as well as those looking to attain an insurance degree while gaining key experience in the workplace. Everyone who takes part in the apprenticeship will be assigned a mentor and supervisor who will be key to their success and who will oversee their &quot;on the job&quot; training, which is a critical component of the programme.It&#39;s certainly not easy to work and study simultaneously so the apprenticeship is only for those who can be entirely committed to the programme but with good support from their mentor, supervisor and employer, it can be a great experience leading to a sustainable career. Employers also benefit from taking on an apprentice (and providing them with the support needed), as they will gain experienced, dedicated and highly qualified employees.Speaking to Newstalk.com, Dermot Murray, CEO of The Insurance Institute, said:&quot;The programme is this year celebrating its seventh year and I am delighted to say that we continue to see tremendous interest in the programme - the apprenticeship has been hugely successful at bringing new talent into the sector, as well as providing apprentices with a unique chance to carve out a sustainable and interesting career for themselves, while they also achieve a third level qualification.Mr Murray continued, “It is worth stating though that the apprenticeship is not for everyone – you need to be extremely hardworking and determined – working full-time and studying is not for the faint hearted – but it is of course entirely worth it for those who are ambitious and dedicated to building a career for themselves in a professional industry, full of opportunities.&quot;It should be noted that through the programme, employers recruit the apprentices directly. The Insurance Institute is on hand to help but the employer has full autonomy over who they hire and this is best as they know the type of candidate they need for their business.Now in its seventh year, The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship has seen the vast majority of its graduates go on to flourish in their careers.So if you would like to learn more about The Insurance Practitioner Apprenticeship, visit: .

Government launches further low-cost COVID-19 Loan Scheme to help businessesFrom <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/organisation/department-of-enterprise-trade-and-employment/">the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment</a>Published on 4 July 2022Last updated on 4 July 2022Open to SMEs including farmers, fishers, and food businessesLow-cost loans between €25,000 and €1.5 million availableThe Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, and the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe today announced a further loan scheme to help SMEs access low-cost finance, recognising that many of them are still getting back on their feet after what has been an incredibly challenging few years.The COVID-19 Loan Scheme (&#39;CLS&#39;) is a state-backed loan scheme, offering SMEs, including farmers, fishers, food businesses and small mid-caps, loans of between €25,000 and up to €1,500,000, with terms of 1 to 6 years and unsecured up to €500,000.Finance provided is competitively priced and some refinance can be availed of to help with any existing short-term credit a business may have.The Tánaiste said:<blockquote>&quot;There are currently more people employed in Ireland than ever before in the history of the state. That would have been unimaginable a few months ago even. However, many businesses are still getting back on their feet after what has been an incredibly challenging period. I know Putin’s war on Ukraine has caused more uncertainty.</blockquote><blockquote>&quot;These State-backed loan schemes are working well. The existing Covid Credit Guarantee Scheme helped more than 10,000 SMEs access low-cost credit. This successor scheme will give SMEs, including farmers, fishers and food businesses, the option to access really competitively priced loans, should they need to avail of that option, in addition to the other help that is available. It’s about giving SMEs as many options as possible.&quot;</blockquote>Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, said:<blockquote>&quot;I am pleased that the COVID-19 Loan Scheme will be available to farm families, fishers and food businesses. The resilience shown by the agri-food sector during the pandemic was remarkable as it continued to produce high quality produce for consumers at home and abroad. This State-backed source of finance will complement other measures introduced by my department to alleviate the considerable impact of the pandemic on the agri-food sector.&quot;</blockquote>Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe said:<blockquote>&quot;The government is committed to supporting our SME sector. Alongside the Brexit Impact Loan Scheme, the COVID-19 Loan Scheme will ensure that businesses continue to have access to longer term unsecured lending as they deal with the impact of the pandemic. As well as working capital, loans can be used for investment and I urge businesses to exploit such investment opportunities to grow, develop and embrace digital and climate transition.&quot;</blockquote>June Butler, CEO of SBCI said:<blockquote>&quot;The new COVID-19 Loan Scheme will support SMEs throughout Ireland as they continue to deal with the economic effects of the pandemic. The SBCI is delighted to add this guarantee loan scheme to its range of SME-friendly finance options and enable even more SMEs get access to low-cost, flexible finance. As the economy transitions into the post-pandemic phase, this new Scheme will be of significant benefit to Irish SMEs during the recovery period and beyond. Offering discounted State-backed lending, this Scheme will continue to help Irish businesses prosper and grow sustainably into the future.&quot;</blockquote>The Scheme is delivered by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI), through participating lenders and information on the application process can be found on the SBCI website at <a href="https://sbci.gov.ie/">www.sbci.gov.ie.</a>The CLS is in response to the required closure of the COVID-19 Credit Guarantee Scheme (CCGS) at the end of June 2022, which is a consequence of the cessation of the European Commission’s COVID-19 State-Aid Framework at this time.

US Companies Hiring Now in Ireland

With many companies noticing the benefits and work life balance attainbale by offering remote or hybrid working options to their staff, more and more openings are becoming available.Below, We have put together a list of some job roles currently availale actoss Ireland. Always remember <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bd8965b4959a001eebe37b"></a>working from home may not suit everybody so if you are thinking of pursuing a work from home role you should really do your research.Monster.com have put together this great list of the Pros &amp; Cons of working from home:<h2>Pros</h2>You are truly independent. It’s much more than just the benefit of getting to work in your pajamas. Working from home means you’ll learn to rely on self-motivation, self-discipline, focus, and concentration.“As you work through your career, those are really critical components for success,” says Fay. “It sounds simple and obvious but the <a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/Time-Management-for-Managers">time management</a> and scheduling you have to do is an important skill to have.”You can get more work done. As long as you’re not sneaking off binge Netflix, you can actually <a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/resisting-temptations-while-telecommuting-hot-jobs">be more productive when working from home</a>.“For starters, the remote worker isn’t spending hours commuting,” says J.P. Giugliano, partner at talent acquisition firm WinterWyman. In fact, when Giugliano works remotely, he says it adds three hours of stress-free productivity to his day. Plus, you won’t have the <a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/most-annoying-things-co-workers-do">occasional annoyances of office life</a>: interruptions, loud co-workers, chatter, et cetera.You’ll become a communications expert. When having a quick meeting in the break room isn’t possible, you have to get up to speed on what communication tools are available, says Fay. “From texting, Skyping, emailing, web meetings—out of necessity, you become very savvy in all of those.” <h2>Cons</h2>You may forget to clock out. While people might think working from home means doing less, <a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/overworked">the opposite might be true</a> for diligent employees. “When you don’t have that separation of going to and from the office, your workday kind of blurs together into your home life,” says Fay. Feeling like you’re always “at work” could even <a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/combat-work-stress-0317">lead to burnout</a>.You can feel out of the loop. You might not realize it until you’re not there, but there is a lot of casual collaboration that happens in an office, says Fay. Whether it’s picking up on the best practices of your colleagues or having an impromptu brainstorming session over lunch, it’s hard to replicate that from home.You might not have full access to technology platforms. For the most part, cloud technology has made it easier than ever for remote workers to work from anywhere. However, Fay notes that there are situations in which data security or consumer protection concerns might prevent telecommuters from having full access.Co-workers might accuse you of slacking. When you work from home and can’t get to a call or email right away, your co-workers may not give you as much leeway as they might if you were in the office. People might wonder if you’re taking it easy rather than pulling your weight. “Remember,” says Fay, “the onus is on the work-from-home individual to be overcommunicating what they’re doing and what they’re accomplishing.” Original article: <a href="https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment_rights_and_conditions/health_and_safety/working_at_home.html"></a><a href="https://www.monster.com/career-advice/article/pros-cons-of-working-from-home">Monster Pros and Cons</a>There are also some legalities conntected to working from home, Make sure your current or prospective employer is doing things right - Citizens information have great resources available to employees who are working from home: <a href="https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment_rights_and_conditions/health_and_safety/working_at_home.html">Citizens Information Working From Home Resources</a>To help, we have listed some handy tips on working from home:- Set up a designated work space - this makes it easier to leave work where it is and enojy your time off- Make sure you have all the tech you need (Your employer should supply you with any specialist equipment needed to carry out your job properly)- Get dressed - It is very easy to lounge around in your Pjs all day while working away but getting dressed will help you switch more easily in and out of work mode. - Reach out to your colleagues when you need to! Remote working can become lonely and isolating, make sure you reach out to team mates or even friends who work remotely if you are feeling the need!- Know when to step away - Have a strict starting time, breaks and finishing time. Incorporate a small walk or stretch into each working day. - Check out local work spaces - You may be able to work in your local library or a nice cafe on occasion, This can really break up the week and give you a sense of community and social interaction.And most importantly, communicate with your manager, think of what kind of day you would like to have in your work from home role and discuss it with your manager, what works for you may also work for them!<h2>Here is our listing of some work from home / hybrid roles now available in Ireland:</h2>Ireland:⭐ Fully Remote Roles:<a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bb1d44b4959a001ee9e329">Human Resources Assistant</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62baca29b4959a001ee99009">HR Executive</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62ba759ab4959a001ee95dfb">Payroll Assistant</a>Part-time <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bb1efab4959a001ee9e552"></a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62b86462b4959a001ee73613">Customer Service Executive</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/customer-service-advisor-home-based-capita">Account Services Representative</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/customer-service-advisor-home-based-capita">Customer Service Advisor - Home Based</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/customer-service-advisor-home-based-kerry-fexco">Customer Service Advisor - Home Based &amp; Kerry</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/sales-development-representative-uk-market-zevas"> Sales Development Representative - UK Market </a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/bid-writer-abtran-2">Bid Writer located in either our Cork HQ, Sligo, or remotely.</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/test-manager-aspira">Test Manager </a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bd8061b4959a001eebdc21">eBay Customer Service - Trust Chat Teammate (Full time Remote or In Office)</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bd7fa8b4959a001eebdb97">Recruitment Consultant</a>⭐ Dublin Based:<a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/game-tester-remote-work-uk-english-speaking-keyword-studios">Game Tester (Remote Work) - UK English Speaking</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/game-testers-all-languages-keyword-studios">Game Testers - All Languages</a>Prometric: Remote based in Ireland<a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62ac8b66d274df001eca8fc0">Automation Engineer</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62ab4e20d274df001ec9881f">Software Development Engineer in Test</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/6299fc435d22d5001e416114">Senior Software Engineer</a><h1>⭐ Hybrid Roles:</h1><h1>Dublin:</h1><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/customer-success-executive-clanwilliam-health">Customer Success Executive</a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/job/62bd8965b4959a001eebe37b"> Administrative/Studio Assistant in In-Studio</a> You can view all remote / hybrid roles on our website here: <a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=remote&amp;page=3"></a><a href="https://www.jobalert.ie/jobs?search=remote&amp;page=3">JOBALERT.IE/REMOTE</a>

Remote Jobs - Ireland

Members of the Defence Forces are to begin training so they can stand in for security personnel at Dublin Airport in the event of a Covid-19 surge.“The risk of a case surge among its staff has prompted the daa to request the Government to put in place contingency planning that would allow for the short-term deployment of the Defence Forces to assist with operations at Dublin airport should it be required,” the Department of Transport said in a statement. The Government has supported a request from Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan and Minister of State Hildegarde Naughton for members of the Defence Forces to being training which will allow them to assist the daa with the aviation security duties at Dublin Airport.The DAA has advised that its current operational plan, which has been in place since the beginning of June, is “working effectively” and people are “making their way through the airport safely and making their flights”.However, given the impact that a resurgence of Covid-19 could have on its staff and operations, the DAA proposed a contingency to be made to facilitate the potential deployment of the Defence Forces to the airport.On foot of the emergency request, Ministers Ryan and Naughton asked Government to take the necessary measures, including the appropriate training and certification of the Defence Forces, to facilitate their possible deployment – should it ultimately be required over the peak summer period.Minister Ryan said it is a “contingency measure only” and the deployment of the Defence Forces may not be necessary. &quot;I expect that the DAA will continue to manage through the summer period with passengers who heed the relevant advice making their flights and the majority of passengers passing through security in less than 45 minutes,” he said. “I have agreed to this request on a clear assurance that this is a distinct piece of work, provided in extreme circumstances, as a short-term emergency related contingency action and is in direct response to a letter from DAA management to the Minister for Transport.&quot;The request is clearly defined in terms of the role and timeline, lasting no more than six weeks, in non-public facing duties. Over the last number of days, I consulted with the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Seán Clancy on this request.“Members of our Defence Forces will undergo an immediate period of training and stand ready to assist if the need arises. However, this support will be stood down in August when the busy holiday period has passed.“The DAA have given assurances that they will continue with their own recruitment and onboarding of additional security staff and the introduction of other mitigations during this period,” he added.Meanwhile, Minister Naughton said despite the ongoing recruitment at Dublin Airport, “it would be remiss of Government not to provide for an additional layer of protection for people to travel safely through Dublin Airport in the weeks ahead”.&quot;The decision by Government to allow for the deployment of the Defence Forces in extreme circumstances is unprecedented, and it is my hope that it is one that we will not have to be utilised. I will continue to engage with the Chief Executive of daa, Dalton Philips, his senior executive team and the Chair of the Board, throughout the remainder of the summer to ensure that the travelling public will make their holidays, family reunions and business engagements,” she added.The Department of Transport confirmed that the contingency measure will be in place until August, at which point the daa has advised that they will have optimal levels of security staff recruited, trained and deployed.This week DAA spokesperson Graham McQueen said everything ran “fairly smoothly” at the airport over the weekend, which was the busiest weekend since before the pandemic.Mr McQueen said recruitment is continuing and the authority is “on track” to hire an additional 900 security personnel by the end of June. Speaking on RTÉ radio he said a further 100 security employees will be recruited in July to meet the growing demand.Original Source:<a href="https://www.independent.ie/news/army-preparing-for-security-duties-at-dublin-airport-in-event-of-covid-surge-41797905.html">https://www.independent.ie/news/army-preparing-for-security-duties-at-dublin-airport-in-event-of-covid-surge-41797905.html</a>

Our Rural Future: New Voucher Scheme for Remote Working Hubs goes live From:  <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/organisation/department-of-rural-and-community-development/">Department of Rural and Community Development</a>Published: on 28 June 2022Last updated on 28 June 2022💻 At least 10,000 hot desk days to be provided free of charge- Register for your vouchers at ConnectedHubs.ieThe Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has today announced that the Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme has gone live.At least 10,000 hot desk working days will be provided free of charge over the course of the Scheme, which is aimed at both existing hub users, as well as those accessing hub facilities for the first time.It is intended that the scheme will run over two phases. Phase one will run from now until August 31st with the second phase starting in September and expected to run into early 2023.Initially, the first phase sees three vouchers been credited to the accounts of all registered ConnectedHubs.ie users, with each voucher redeemable for a day’s hot-desk working in participating hubs.Anybody wishing to register for their free vouchers can do so online at <a href="https://www.connectedhubs.ie/">www.connectedhubs.ie</a> or via the ConnectedHubs mobile app.Speaking today, Minister Humphreys said:<blockquote>“I am delighted to announce that the Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme is now live. This scheme gives people an opportunity to try out our many remote working hubs across the country for free. This Voucher Scheme will help more people to realise the benefits of remote working and will provide an opportunity to ‘try before you buy’. Whether you are fitting in some work while on holiday in Ireland or looking to relocate to rural Ireland, Connected Hubs has an option for you.”</blockquote>Minister Humphreys continued:<blockquote>“The census figures released last week show population growth in every county with some of the largest increases happening in rural counties like Longford and Leitrim. This bucks previous trends where we have seen some rural counties experience population decline. The fact is there are now more people living and working in rural Ireland than ever before. Through the implementation of Our Rural Future and the continued drive towards remote working, I want to ensure we continue these positive trends for the benefit of our rural communities. The Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme will allow people to try out their local hub for free and I believe many will see it is a much better option for them than working from the kitchen table or facing a long commute. They may also decide that the hubs in our wonderful regional towns and villages would make the option of relocating, or moving home, a viable one.”</blockquote> Original press release: <a href="https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/736a3-our-rural-future-new-voucher-scheme-for-remote-working-hubs-goes-live/">https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/736a3-our-rural-future-new-voucher-scheme-for-remote-working-hubs-goes-live/</a>
