Child and family agency looking to add to team

A range of upcoming career opportunities in social work, social care, and administration have been announced for 2023.

Announcing the opportunities was Tusla - Child and Family Agency which works in partnership with children, families and communities to ensure that children are supported, protected, and connected to people who can safeguard and promote their wellbeing.

Speaking about the recruitment campaign for 2023, Rosarii Mannion, National Director of People and Change, Tusla, said: “We are currently looking for people who want to learn from new experiences and build their career in a dynamic and rewarding work environment.

“Working in Tusla offers structured opportunities for both personal growth and career development. We have a range of roles available so if you’re considering a career change or a new challenge, now is the time to apply. There are many benefits including a permanent position, competitive salary, pension, mentoring and peer support, blended (remote) working options and equal opportunities.”

One social care worker spoke about why she enjoys working for Tusla: “I work in a really good team, with a great team leader who has more than 20 years’ experience. I receive regular supervision, which is essential and reassuring because I have quite a challenging role.

“I feel lucky I work where I do because I get great support from my colleagues. Everyone is busy but if they see that you have had a difficult visit or call for example, your team will always support you.”

Tusla is growing and is looking for people who embody values and behaviours of trust, kindness, respect, and empowerment. Working for Tusla, regardless of the specific role, contributes to supporting vulnerable children and families in communities across Ireland.
