Staff shortages force Tusla to offer roles ahead of graduation

Offer applies to all students graduating as social workers in the Republic of Ireland in 2022.

Tusla – Child and Family Agency has, for the second year in a row, offered all students intending to graduate as social workers in the Republic of Ireland this year the opportunity to secure permanent employment ahead of graduation day.

With shortages of staff across the country, Tusla are also finalising plans for significant social care worker recruitment from this year’s pending graduate uptake.

Commenting on the initiatives, Bernard Gloster, CEO, Tusla said: “For the second year running, we are offering jobs to all students intending to graduate as social workers in the Republic of Ireland.”

He added: “We are also finalising plans for significant social care worker recruitment from this year’s pending graduates. This is an important step in our overall approach to recruitment for what are increasingly scarce and much sought-after grades in many jurisdictions.”
