Community Funding Lead (Grade VII)

Kilkenny County CouncilNationwide€59,417 - €77,243 per year

CONTEXT LAWPRO is leading a ‘new approach’ to water management in Ireland that involves coordination and close cooperation between local authorities, WFD implementing bodies and stakeholders for the development and implementation of national River Basin Management Plans. The overall aim of this approach is to protect and restore good water quality in Ireland’s rivers, lakes, estuaries, groundwater, and coastal waters through integrated catchment management. Achieving that aim will require active involvement of local authorities and other public bodies, water users and local communities. Implementation of the River Basin Management Plan is co-ordinated on a regional basis by the five water and environment management committees, comprising representatives of each local authority in the Region and the EPA. This structure drives collaboration and integration, both within local authorities, between local authorities and externally with other public agencies. The shared service’s approach to delivery includes all stakeholders through a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency structure. This shared service arrangement takes account of the need to deliver maximum benefit with limited resource availability. LAWPRO ensures that its resources are utilised locally to implement the River Basin Management Plan for Ireland 2018 – 2021 and, the 2022 – 2027 Plan (Water Action Plan 2024). The strategic role of the Programme is: 2.1.1 To promote knowledge sharing and coordination in implementing the Water Action Plan 2024 and Programme of Measures (POMs) by local authorities, other public authorities, sectoral interests, and community groups. 2.1.2 To co-ordinate/undertake statutorily required public consultation in the development of the National RBMP and POMs and a public awareness campaign in water resources management. 2.1.3 To deliver on the actions assigned to them in the Water Action Plan 2.1.4 To seek consistency of Water Action Plan implementation across agencies through the operation of the WFD Regional Committees. 2.1.5 To assist the Minister and the EPA and work collaboratively with local authorities in the development of RBMPs and POMs. 2.1.6 To mobilise and support engagement of voluntary and community groups in protecting our natural waters. 2.1.7 To foster linkages with industry and agricultural sectors. 2.1.8 To develop linkages with local sectoral representative organisations, such as Catchment Partnerships, Rural Development Companies, Rivers Trusts, Tidy Towns Groups, business and industry sectors including Chambers of Commerce, farming organisations, sports clubs and volunteering sectors, angling and outdoor recreational user groups, etc. 2.2 RECRUITMENT DETAILS As part of the team structure of The Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), it is intended to immediately recruit one [1] position of Community Funding Lead (Administrative Officer – Grade VII). A panel will be formed from which any subsequent Community Funding Lead (Grade VII) fixed term positions may be filled, including posts that may arise in any of the LAWPRO locations. Current LAWPRO Regional Office Locations: • 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 Inniscarra, Co. Cork • Western Region: Galway (Liosbán Estate) or Castlebar, Co. Mayo A Fixed Term Contract of Employment will be issued by the relevant employing Local Authority (LA) (Tipperary or Kilkenny County Council) and it is envisaged that contract will terminate on or before the 22nd December 2027. A review of LAWPRO is currently being undertaken by the County and City Management Association (CCMA) on behalf of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to inform the appropriate level of resources required to meet Water Framework Directive objectives into the future. Public consultation on the timetable and work programme for Ireland’s fourth cycle Water Action Plan 2028 – 2033 has commenced. Should current permanent/full-time Local Authority staff be successful and accept a post in this competition, appropriate secondment arrangements will be put in place.
