Recruitment drive for fishery officers in Drogheda by conservation board
IF you have ambitions to protect and develop Ireland’s fisheries resource, and have a passion for outdoor life, now could be your opportunity by joining Inland Fisheries Ireland.
Inland Fisheries Ireland has launched a recruitment campaign for seasonal fisheries officers in Drogheda and across Co Louth. The seasonal positions offer an opportunity to protect and develop Ireland’s rivers, lakes and waterways during the summer months. There are up to 40 positions on offer across six River Basin Districts.
“Fisheries Officers help enforce Fisheries Legislation which protects against illegal fishing activity and support the development of the resource through the maintenance of angling infrastructure,” said Sean Canney, TD, launching the initiative. “The recruitment of up to 40 seasonal officers will reinforce the critical work of Inland Fisheries Ireland during the high activity period of the year when there is increased demand for protection, conservation and support.” Roisin Bradley, Head of HR at Inland Fisheries Ireland said the roles offer an excellent opportunity to work in the field helping to protect and enhance Ireland’s rivers, lakes and coastline.
“Our Fisheries Officers are custodians of this precious natural fisheries resource,” she explained. “We are looking for people in Co Louth who enjoy working outdoors, who are passionate about protecting our fisheries resource and who have excellent interpersonal skills.”
The roles are available on a six-month basis with contracts commencing from late April and training provided to all new recruits.
The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday, 8th of February 2019. To find out more about the roles and how to apply, visit www.fisheriesireland. ie/careers .
