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.

 

We are now recruiting a new TÚS Supervisor

The TÚS Supervisor will plan and monitor participants performance, and liaise with community organisations with regard achieving successful project outcomes.  They will also manage the placement of up to 20 participants with community organisations
