TÚS Programme

 

Opportunities at Meath Partnerships’ TÚS scheme

Meath Partnership is starting to roll out the TÚS scheme in Meath, on behalf of the Department of Social Protection.  Tús is a new job activation scheme that will provide 100 short term working opportunities for people unemployed more than twelve months in County Meath.

Placements will be with local community and voluntary sector organisations involved in the delivery of services to local people in the County. This new initiative will enable jobseekers gain new skills through working within the community sector and availing of supports which Meath Partnership intends to offer those successful in gaining a placement.

 

Supervisor Vacancies

The Tús Supervisors will work as part of the Tús Development Team with primary responsibility for supporting, supervising and managing up to 20 Tús participants each, in partnership with local community groups. Their responsibility is to promote the scheme and make it as successful as possible for the TÚS participant and the community group involved.
