people centred, placement, career guidance and training organisation. Based on a culture of
excellence and innovation, the BJC provides a range of services and programmes supported by
local, national and European organisations. The BJC manages a number of projects on behalf of
the Ballymun Local Drugs and Alcohol Task Force aimed at assisting former drug users to access
education, training or employment.
As a key member of the BJC guidance and high support services team, the role of the Employer
Engagement Officer involves identifying employers offering work experience placements,
employment opportunities and apprenticeships, which match the skills, experience and
aspirations of clients with a focus on high support clients. The Employer Engagement Officer will
ensure that they identify and build relationships with employers to update their understanding of
employer needs and to offer advice to guidance staff and others about employability for clients in
the current and future labour markets. The person will also add additional value to the high
support service by helping to develop ways to support service users’ personal development and
transition to employment.

should have excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills and a good
knowledge of ICT systems. The job demands a performance-oriented individual who defines
targets and results from both the qualitative and quantitative angle and can influence others.
The person should have a strong sales background and at least two years’ experience in an Employer
Engagement or Recruitment role and be able to demonstrate the ability to effectively manage and
maximize vacancy opportunities with new and existing employers. They should also have an
understanding of both the employment market and the needs of employers along with an
understanding of the needs of disadvantaged job seekers, particularly those recovering from drug
and alcohol issues.
The person should have a willingness to travel and work flexibly, and hold a full clean driving licence
and have access to their own transport. A relevant third level qualification while not essential
would be an advantage.
Following shortlisting, successful candidates will be invited to attend for interview. Garda Vetting

offered on a one year fixed term contract. Salary is on a scale between €34,493 and €44,527
