The Voluntary Work Option scheme allows jobseekers to work in the voluntary sector.
Voluntary groups often work with:
- the sick, elderly or disabled
- youth clubs
- church groups
- sports groups
- local groups
This work is normally for a few hours a day or a few days a week but full-time roles in voluntary groups can be agreed with your case officer at your local Intreo centre.
You must be:
- A jobseeker
- Available for work
- Seeking work
Bring a completed form to your local Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office
