Gateway seeking Development/Coordination Assistant for maternity cover (6 months)

Hi folks,

Updated deadline, applications now open until Thursday 16th February at 5pm.

As many of you already know, there are a few changes happening in Gateway this year with our Co-ordinator Fionn going on maternity leave from next month. Ali will be stepping in to cover the management and co-ordination of the project while Fionn is on leave but we will need extra support for the project.

As a result, Gateway is recruiting for a temporary development/co-ordination assistant role to ensure the project and team have enough support over the coming months.

Below is the job spec and advert for those interested in applying and available here on Mental Health Ireland's website. Mental Health Ireland are the employer and managing the recruitment for Gateway. See www.mentalhealthireland.ie/recruitment.  Please follow the application process explained in the advert which will mean applying to Mental Health Ireland, not Gateway.

Please be aware that the deadline is Thursday 16th February to enable enough time for shortlisting and interviews to take place before the maternity leave starts. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will take place on the 24th February to facilitate a smooth handover in early March.

Feel free to circulate this to people who might be interested and/or experienced. We are looking for someone who has a community development background with good knowledge of the context and kind of work that we do in Gateway using a community development approach. It is a short term 6 month temporary contract which may be extended depending on the needs of the project. Good luck to all/any applying.

A poem for the weekend...

January Blues

Roll out the ending of an old year; roll in the beginning of a new year.

Expectations for January are high, in the right direction we hope to steer.

Sometimes after the festive season a lot of people have, January blues.

They maybe broke, overweight or just tired of hearing bad, negative news.

January can be a good time for some and for couples looking to start a new life.

 Family’s get reunited in January, some split up they can’t handle trouble and strife.

Professional sports people and teams, in January they plan to set their hopes high.

People get January blues from the dark evening’s cold, rain, snow and dull grey sky.

Some want to quit alcohol, drugs and smoking looking for a recovery solution.

Being aware of the affect these can have on a person’s life it’s a good new year’s resolution.

 This is the time of year where decisions are made you can’t really pick and choose.

So plan ahead with your hopes and dreams and always be aware of those January blues.
