Southern Trust support recruitment campaign following funding boost from EU INTERREG VA

by Gráinne Connolly

The CAWT Partnership has recently been awarded EU INTERRED VA funding to implement four large-scale cross border health and social care projects up to 2021. 

To support the delivery of these projects, a recruitment campaign for 50 new jobs has recently commenced. 

A range of management, clinical and support roles have been advertised and include vacancies in areas such as acute hospital services, mental health, children’s services, community health and well-being and primary care and older people.

CAWT, also known as Co-operation and Working Together is a cross border health and social care partnership comprising the Health and Social Care Board and the Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland, the border counties of the Health Service Executive (HSE) in the Republic of Ireland and the Southern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts in Northern Ireland.

Information and application forms can be accessed directly on the two following national recruitment websites for the health and social care services in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland:

The closing date for all jobs in the current recruitment campaign is Friday 16th February 2018 at 3.30pm. 

Commenting on these new posts, Damien McCallion, HSE National Director & Director General of CAWT said: 

“Thanks to the EU INTERREG VA investment secured by the CAWT Partnership for these cross border projects, we are now in a position to recruit people for brand new positions.

"So, if you want to be part of an exciting and innovative cross border project, check out the range of roles we have on offer via the recruitment websites of the health and social care services.

“These EU funded projects will continue until 2021. All projects have been underwritten by both the UK and Irish Governments for the complete project period, including the post-Brexit phase. Thus, there is no concern in relation to the security of funding for this programme of approved initiatives.”
