St. Canice's Kilkenny Credit Union Ltd, is a financial cooperative with over €510m in Gross Assets, making it one of the largest community credit unions in Ireland. We pride ourselves on offering quality financial services to members across Kilkenny, Laois and Carlow. We have a team of volunteers which enables us to function proactively and positively for the communities we serve. As we continue to grow and develop, new volunteer opportunities arise.
St. Canice’s Kilkenny Credit Union has opportunities for individuals to volunteer in a variety of areas and at a number of levels from committees to the Board of Directors. Our aim is to have a Board of Directors and volunteers reflective of our members with a diversity of thought and background.
When you volunteer, you can develop both personally and professionally:
In addition to helping your community, serving on a Credit Union's various sub-committees and/or board will give you exposure and experience in a wide variety of business disciplines from formulating strategy to understanding risk in a regulated environment. It will also provide you with opportunities for training and development, all of which will stand to you in other areas of your career. All volunteers are subject to the normal fitness and probity regimes for credit unions as outlined by the Central Bank of Ireland.
