At The Heart Of Every Credit Union Are Our Volunteers

At Sligo Credit Union, we cannot achieve our objectives in the community without the commitment and support of our volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer and have a few hours to spare every month for a fixed period, please read on.

We Are Looking For Volunteers!

Sligo Credit Union is looking for volunteers with a background in Governance, Information Technology, Strategic Planning and Development, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing, Lending Underwriting, Credit Control and Credit Union Movement.

Gap criteria and skill-set of volunteers: Understanding of financial reports and proficiency in IT is desired but not essential.

Sligo Credit Union is looking for volunteers to join us on a fixed-term basis. While financial knowledge is not essential - as a regulated entity, we find a financial background beneficial for volunteer committees of credit or credit control and board oversight, including for the board of directors.

Benefits You Will Receive As A Volunteer

You will gain many friends, develop additional skills, which will serve you well in your career, and you will be confident in the knowledge that you are enhancing the lives and financial wellbeing of our members and community.

Volunteer Disclaimer

Sligo Credit Union appreciates all volunteer applications and expressions of interest; however, we would like to point out:

  • As we receive a high-volume of volunteer applications, we cannot accept everyone.
  • Being a Volunteer is a Governance role, therefore, there is no Operational work involved within the various departments in Sligo Credit Union.
  • All volunteers will undergo a Fitness and Probity review on application.

See Central Bank for further information on Fitness and Probity.
