Biodiversity Wellbeing Officer
Full/part-time/contract roles in Biodiversity related work
(Including community biodiversity planning, training, health and well-being, outdoor classroom)
During 2017, SECAD launched ‘Wild Work’, a unique initiative with biodiversity at its heart. We support people who are committed to helping nature and our particular focus is to connect business, biodiversity and local communities. We also support the work of both local and national organisations involved in the conservation and protection of our natural environment. With our practical expertise, we create and care for meadows, woodlands, beaches, rivers and other natural habitats, both in urban and rural settings. We strive to work in line with best practice, with nature and not against and value research as a key component of our work.
Wild Work has three main aims:
- To Support Employment Activation – we provide quality work experience opportunities for people and aim to contribute to the creation of fulfilling jobs, particularly in the biodiversity sector
- To Educate and Raise Awareness – we follow a place-based approach, working with nature and the environment in a positive way to have a real and practical impact on environmental issues; because increasing people’s awareness, respect and understanding, helps them care more effectively for our natural world
- To Benefit Society and Nature – we want to foster people’s good will to ensure that our local flora, fauna and habitats are protected, valued and enhanced.
SECAD would now like to expand the services we provide to a range of different interest and target groups. If you think you have the skills to support our work, we would like to hear from you to explore further how we could potentially work together.

Integrated Caseload Support Officer
Full/part-time roles
SECAD has delivered the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) programme since its first iteration in 2015, including several predecessor community based social inclusion programmes before that. SICAP addresses high and persistent levels of deprivation through targeted and innovative, locally-led approaches. It supports disadvantaged communities and individuals including unemployed people, people living in deprived areas, people with disabilities, single parent families, people on a low income, asylum seekers and refugees, and other disadvantaged groups.
SICAP caseload management system
Pobal, on behalf of the Department Rural and Community Development implemented a system in 2015 (IRIS) to support and monitor the Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme. The system facilitates the management of annual plans and associated financial and monitoring processes. The system is accessible by all programme stakeholders such as Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs), the funding Department and Pobal. This system was updated in line with the SICAP 2018-23 programme. The IRIS system utilises Dynamics CRM [Customer Relationship Management], which is a Microsoft solution to online customer relationship management.
Given the increasing beneficiary caseload over the years, SECAD is now seeking an Integrated Caseload Support Officer to support the work of SICAP team delivering supports and interventions across a multitude of areas including employment and job-seeking, enterprise start up, lifelong learning and re-skilling (accredited), health and wellbeing including our outdoor classroom and nature-based wellness activities.
