VSI are welcoming applications for two ESC volunteer roles:
1. Programmes Officer
2. Marketing and Communications Officer
These exciting volunteer roles are funded through the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programme. We are looking for two volunteers aged 18 to 30 and resident in Ireland to join our team for 12 months from June 2025.
What is an ESC volunteer placement?
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering programme gives young people (18-30 years old) the opportunity to volunteer either in their own country or abroad. It is an initiative of the European Union and offers an inspiring and empowering experience for those interested in making a change and benefiting communities across Europe. The programme aims to develop solidarity, intercultural understanding and respect among young people and to promote active citizenship.
The ESC roles in VSI are ‘in-country’ projects, so volunteers must be currently resident in Ireland.
A generous monthly allowance for living expenses will be provided plus mentoring support for the volunteer’s personal and professional development. If required, financial ‘Inclusion Support’ to enable young people with fewer opportunities to take part will also be provided – if you would like to speak with someone privately for more info about this please contact Eiméar in VSI: eimear@vsi.ie
Role Description
The volunteer will work in a supportive role with the VSI staff team - training and supervision will be provided.
