👨🔧🧑🔧 CE Scheme & TÚS Initiative Roles 🧑🔧👨🔧
CLG Naomh Ultan are offering opportunities to work at the Club through the Community Employment Scheme (CE Scheme) and TÚS Initiative to gain some experience or learn new skills. If you are aged between 21 and 60+, unemployed and receiving an eligible Dept. of Social Welfare benefit payment, you may qualify for work at our Club.
If you're aware of anyone who might be inclined to volunteer for an hour or two each week in and around the clubhouse and dressing rooms, please don't hesitate to inform us. This could be a family member, perhaps someone who is retired, or even yourself, or anyone simply seeking an opportunity to enjoy an hour outdoors.
Every club, including Naomh Ultan, is facing the challenge of finding volunteers willing to contribute a bit of their time to support what the club provides to the community.
If interested in either of the above, please contact us via DM on Facebook or by contacting Club Chairman Alan Lyons (087) 468 9435
