At Fáilte Ireland, we’re always looking for passionate, reliable and dedicated people to join our team. Our open positions are listed on our Open Roles page, and the application process is streamlined to make your first steps as straightforward as possible. If you’re looking to apply for a role at Fáilte Ireland, here’s everything you need to know.
Application guidelines
Applying for a role at Fáilte Ireland is simple. All of our current openings are published on our Open Roles page, and each listing includes the location, salary guidelines and qualification requirements, as well as an in-depth description of what the job will entail. If you see a role that’s a fit, you just have to fill out the application form that’s linked on that same page.
All applications are through an online system where you’ll answer questions about your past experience and give examples of times where you’ve demonstrated strong skills in particular areas. This is an opportunity to advocate for your talent and experience, and to tell us exactly why you think you’ll be a great addition to the team.
All of our open roles are listed on our website. We occasionally partner with executive search agencies to manage some recruitment campaigns. When we do, the application process is slightly different, but all you need to do is follow the relevant directions to apply. Whichever system you use, the same recruitment process and Fáilte Ireland policies and procedures apply.
Bear in mind that we don’t accept CVs or any other form of job application outside of our recruitment campaigns, and in line with our GDPR and data retention policies, we do not keep CVs or any other forms of application on file.
What we look for
While each role has a different set of requirements in terms of skills and experience, there are some general qualities that we look for no matter what the position entails. Organisational skills are a must, and in a fast-paced industry we look for people who are adept at meeting deadlines.
Fáilte Ireland is a team-based, values-driven organisation, with excellent opportunities for professional and personal development. As such, we look for people who are keen to progress within their career, and enthusiastic about their role. We are passionate advocates for tourism in Ireland, and we look for people who share that passion and drive to promote our world-class tourism product.
We provide a safe, supportive and respectful working environment, and take pride in our values. Not only are we recognised as a Great Place to Work(and one of the Best Workplaces for Women), but we’re also listed in the top five most-trusted organisations in Ireland.
