Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI ) has launched a new national recruitment drive to hire 38 temporary staff, with three posts available in Galway.
IFI’s Seasonal Fisheries Officers are to be deployed across 15 counties from April to September 2024.
Starting salaries of €29,053, per annum pro rata, are on offer, and Fisheries Officers can also earn up to €3,639 extra via an unsocial hours allowance.
Barry Fox, Director of IFI’s Western River Basin District, Galway, commented: “As a key State environmental agency, enforcement of the law regarding illegal fishing, pollution, and habitat destruction, are a key focus for Inland Fisheries Ireland.
“We require additional temporary contract staff to support our busy annual programme of work on Ireland’s rivers, lakes and coastlines.
“Our three positions in Galway will be in Connemara, Cornamona and at the Galway fishery.
“We’re seeking male and female applicants from diverse backgrounds for a six-month period. People who enjoy nature and working outdoors, in all types of weather, are likely to find these jobs very appealing and rewarding,” he said.
