The cost of employing employment services support officers to social welfare recipients is as follows:
a) a job coach is at Executive Officer (EO) civil service grade. The cost of the annual rate of the entry point of the EO payscale is €37,544 and
b) an employment personal advisor is at Higher Executive Officer (HEO) grade. The cost of the annual rate of the entry point of the HEO payscale is €58,264.
I trust this clarifies the matter for you.
Recruitment of EOs and HEOs is carried out via large-scale recruitment competitions both internally and via PublicJobs and therefore the cost of recruiting a job coach or employment personal advisor is not available.
