Applications are invited for the following LAWPRO positions:
1. COMMUNITY FUNDING LEAD (Grade VII)
The EU Water Framework Directive [WFD] 2000 seeks to protect and improve our natural waters, including rivers, lakes, groundwaters, coastal waters, and transitional waters. The Directive's objectives are implemented through the National River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) and measures in the Programmes of Measures (POMS).
The European Union [Water Policy] Regulations 2014 established a new, three-tier governance framework and imposed new obligations on local authorities to coordinate catchment management and public participation under the Water Framework Directive.
To support local authorities in achieving these objectives, the Local Authority Waters Programme [LAWPRO] was established to facilitate a coordinated regional approach. Kilkenny County Council and Tipperary County Council, acting jointly, have been appointed as lead local authorities representing all local authorities in managing this Programme. The Programme comprises two elements: The Communities Office and The Catchment Assessment Team.
LAWPRO intends to establish a panel from which subsequent Community Funding Lead (Grade VII) fixed-term positions may be filled, including future posts that may arise in any LAWPRO locations.
LAWPRO regional offices are located as follows:
* Head office: Ballingarrane, Clonmel, Co Tipperary
* Border Region: Donegal Town, Co. Donegal or Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan
* Midlands and East Region: Dublin 8 or Tullamore, Co. Offaly
* South-East Region: Clonmel, Co. Tipperary or Kilkenny, Co. Kilkenny
* South-West Region: Croom, Co. Limerick or Iniscarra, Co. Cork
* Western Region: Galway (Liosbán Estate) or Castlebar, Co. Mayo
The closing date for receipt of completed application forms is: Tuesday 17th June at 4.00pm.
Kilkenny and Tipperary County Councils reserve the right to shortlist candidates based on education, qualifications, and experience. Shortlisted applicants will be called for interviews. Canvassing will result in automatic disqualification.
