It’s a very skilled and highly dangerous job, dealing with potential terrorists. Airport search and security should be earning €50 an hour.
Good salary to retain staff too.
Jesus don't think I will feel too comfortable going on a plane with those guys on 400 quid a week checking the bags, pay pea nuts get monkey's kind of thing,
420 gross gauranteed, for the level of responsibility and flexibility needed that's absolutely awful money.
According to an an advert on jobs.ie they are now guaranteeing 30 hours work available to do 40. https://www.jobs.ie/ApplyForJob.aspx?Id=2041596&r=1-job-listing
Hi,
Anyone going to the open day tomorrow 5th April? Also anyone actually working as ASU able to tell what the situation is with hours, I currently work in a job where I'm guaranteed 21 hours but rarely fall below 35 hours a week. Is this similar and are there options to do overtime (at present I can't).
Thanks in advance
Didn't go ahead with it ...did a bit of reading into the actual jobs etc asked a few people their thoughts ... The terms and conditions + the 12 month contract I just decided it would be worth it
@Vego Id love to hear how you're getting on? I've applied for asu in Cork but weighing up my options as the 20 hours wouldn't be feasible for me. I have another job at the mo that pays really well but it's 7am -12, Monday to Friday. Are they understanding if you weren't available for certain shifts on weekdays? I'd still be more than happy to work early mornings at weekends and do afternoon/night shifts during the week. Trying to save for a mortgage and sure eho needs sleep anyways!
Read in this thread someone said the recruitment process took 4months to receive a start date. I was successful at interview last week, can I really expect to wait 4 months before receiving a start date?
Applied and got straight in not sure about this Flexi contract that's only a year 👀... Got the feeling from the interview thought that the hours will be there as the travel increases post covid ...and with the planned new runway etc ..... probably an ideal time to fall into full time contract after the year but I'm coming from 7 years in a job so it's a gamble .....and as before very mixed feedback from staff about conditions etc
Was going to apply but I don't think it'd be worth the risk after reading some of the posts in the thread. So there's no extra pay for unsocial hours, Sundays or bank holidays??
€14.14 per hour inclusive of shift allowance?
lol
That's terrible money for the flexibility required

There are a lot of regulations to follow and checked all the time by the daa Some of it's interesting some videos on previous aviation attacks . You will have to complete the boring manual handling course 😴. The 3 week would be searching of people it's not as straight forward in the beginning - there's techniques but in time it will become easy . Bag searching - rules on non prohibited items . Then there's the X-ray which is mind boggling in the beginning you won't have a clue what ur looking at . And you will learn how to tell between all materials . There is an exam at the end of the 4 weeks the trainers are more then helpful. You will be on the floor (security area) in week 3-4 on occasions but the asus are there and more than happy to help .
