Job Links

As well as the Comhlamh jobs noticeboard, the Irish website Community Exchange is a great starting point for jobs, particularly for opportunities in Ireland. Community Exchange also has a weekly email newsletter, Activelink, which has a dedicated jobs/volunteering/interships section. You can visit the website at www.activelink.ie

In addition, other Irish websites highlighting various opportunities include those of individual agencies, such as

The Government of Ireland’s official programme of assistance to developing countries is managed by Irish Aid, a division within the Department of Foreign Affairs. Its website often carries opportunities in volunteering, internships, and programmes overseas. You can visit their website at www.irishaid.gov.ie
