Yes — the Irish government operates several official websites and services to help you find a job, retrain or access supports. Here's a clear overview of what each one does and how to use them alongside JobsIrish.ie.
The main government job websites in Ireland
Intreo (intreo.gov.ie)
The Department of Social Protection's employment service. Intreo helps jobseekers register, access job notices, training and employer introductions, and supports like the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance.
Public Jobs (publicjobs.ie)
The official portal for Civil Service and many public body vacancies across Ireland.
HSE careers
For nursing, healthcare, allied health and support roles within the Health Service Executive.
Education Posts
For teaching, SNAs and education-sector roles.
Apprenticeship.ie
For paid, certified apprenticeship routes across trades, engineering, finance and hospitality.
What these sites do (and don't) cover
Government portals are strong for public sector and supported entry routes. They don't cover most private-sector vacancies — that's where JobsIrish.ie complements them.
How to combine them
- Register with Intreo for supports and employer introductions.
- Set alerts on Public Jobs for civil service competitions.
- Browse JobsIrish.ie for private-sector and local roles.
- Use the free CV builder and apply directly.
