Fórsa will be in the Workplace Relations Commission next Wednesday (31st March) for an engagement on its claim for enhanced SNA qualification requirements.
The union wants a relevant QQI level six qualification, or the equivalent, to be essential criteria when new SNAs are hired.
Andy Pike, who heads up the union’s Education Division, says the current minimum requirement of two junior cert passes doesn’t properly reflect the skills and expertise that SNA’s bring to the job.
Many schools already seek a level six qualification, and don’t appoint new SNAs unless they at least hold a level five QQI award.
It’s never been more important – or more easy – to get the protections and benefits of union membership. Join Fórsa HERE or contact us HERE.
