The Community Employment (CE) programme is designed to help people who are long-term unemployed (or with other barriers to employment) to get back to work by offering part-time and temporary jobs based in Dublin Simon Community.

While on CE Participants receive ongoing support with their job searching skills, CVs, applications and job interviews, along with the opportunity to attend the in-house training for new starters and any other training which will help their careers. Each participant has an individual learning plan tailored to their needs. Either during or after the placement, participants are encouraged to seek permanent jobs, based on the experience and new skills they have gained whilst working in Dublin Simon community.
