Job Centre Service

St. Andrew's Resource Centre's Job Centre has been in operation since 1991 and provides a key service to the local community, availing local people with opportunities to access work and training schemes. Now part of the dual stranded National Employment Service, the Job Centre is one of four centres in Dublin's Inner City providing a localised service to the community of Pearse Street and local environs of Dublin 2 and 4. The Job Centre was awarded the Q Mark Award in 2006 by the Excellence Ireland Quality Association, formally recognising the quality of services provided to the public.

The mission of the Job Centre, in conjunction with the Inner City Employment Service (ICES), is to provide an access point to a full range of options currently available to enable our local clients to return to work. These include career advice/guidance services, access to training programmes, information on further education opportunities and employment supports. The four main components of our service are as follows:

- It is locally operated
- It is professionally delivered
- It is adaptable to the needs of each individual client
- It offers as far as it is now possible a confidential service to protect the clients personal and professional interests

Our work will impact positively on our clients by enabling them ultimately to progress into the world of work.

As a client of St. Andrew's Job Centre you can expect the following:

- To be treated with respect and courtesy at all times.
- To have a job seeker file opened.
- To be entered on to the FAS database and have a CV constructed.
