3 What happens next
- We check the details and come back to you if anything is missing.
- The listing goes up on its own page and on the jobs page for your county, marked up so it can appear in Google's job results.
- Applicants contact you directly, using the link or email address you gave us. Nothing comes through us.
- The listing closes itself on your closing date. Tell us the moment it is filled and we will close it sooner.
Struggling to fill a role? It is not just you. Most Irish creches are recruiting, and a lot of the people applying trained elsewhere in the EU. Our guide on qualification recognition explains what has to happen before you can count someone in your ratios, which is worth knowing before you interview.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to list a job?
Nothing. There is no fee, no account and no listing limit. We are a noticeboard rather than a recruitment agency, so we take nothing if you go on to hire someone.
How long until it appears?
Usually a couple of days. We check the details and publish the listing on the county page and on its own page, with the job details marked up so it can appear in Google's job results.
How long does the listing stay up?
Until your closing date. If you do not give one we expire it after about eight weeks, because a listing that stays open forever wastes applicants' time. Tell us when it is filled and we will close it straight away.
Who can post a job here?
Tusla registered early years and school age services in Ireland: creches, preschools, montessoris, naionrai and afterschool services. We do not list school teaching posts, which are advertised through educationposts.ie and publicjobs.ie.
Do applications come through you?
No. The listing carries your own application link or email address, and candidates go straight to you. We never see an application and we are not part of your hiring process.
Can I change or remove a listing?
Email us the change and we will make it. Tell us as soon as a role is filled, so the page stops sending you applications for a job that is gone.
