Candidates should note that different pay and conditions may apply if, immediately prior to appointment, the appointee is a serving civil or public servant. Office Location The WDC is a remote-first organisation with its head office in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon. Staff are also located in Galway, Letterkenny, and Sligo. The successful candidate may seek to be located in Ballaghaderreen, Galway, Letterkenny, or Sligo in line with the WDC's remote working policy. New staff or those on probation may initially work on-site more frequently until completing role induction, as decided by their manager or the CEO. Flexible Working The WDC operates a flexible working model, recognising the benefits of flexible working while supporting collaboration, innovation, and employee wellbeing. As a regional development agency serving Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, and Clare, regular in-person engagement remains an important part of how we work. Staff are expected to attend team meetings, management meetings, staff development days, and other organisational events held across the region throughout the year. Many roles within the WDC also require engagement with businesses, communities, stakeholders, and partner organisations across the Western Region. Employees are therefore expected to be available to travel and build relationships throughout the region as required by their role. The WDC maintains flexible office locations in Sligo, Galway, Letterkenny, and Ballaghaderreen. Employees may be required to attend these locations from time to time in line with business needs. New employees, or those undertaking induction or probation, may be required to attend in person more frequently during their initial period of employment, as agreed with their manager. Given the regional nature of the role and the requirement for regular in-person engagement across the Western Region, candidates should carefully consider their ability to meet these requirements when applying. Travel Due to the nature of this role, the successful candidate will hold a full driving licence and have access to transport, as this post will involve travel nationally in support of the seven-county Western Region. When absent from home and your designated office location on official duty, you will be paid appropriate travelling expenses and subsistence allowances in accordance with Civil Service regulations. The candidate may also be prepared to undertake occasional international travel in the undertaking of their duties. Hours of Attendance Hours of attendance will be fixed from time to time but will amount to not less than 40 hours gross per week (35 hours net). The successful candidate will be required to work such additional hours from time to time as may be reasonable and necessary for the proper performance of their duties, subject to the limits set down in the Working Time Regulations. The rate of remuneration payable covers any extra attendance liability that may arise from time to time. Annual Leave The annual leave allowance will be 23 working days per year. This leave is based on a five-day working week and is exclusive of the usual public holidays. Sick Leave Pay during properly certified sick absence, provided there is no evidence of permanent disability for service, will apply on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the provisions of the sick leave circulars. Officers who will be paying the Class A rate of PRSI will be required to sign a mandate authorising the Department of Social Protection to pay any benefits due under the Social Welfare Acts directly to the employing organisation. Payment during illness will be subject to the officer making the necessary claims for social insurance benefit to the Department of Social Protection within the required time limits.
