About Us

The Linkage Service assists people to access the labour market. Linkage Service Training and Employment Officers are based in Probation offices across Ireland and work with people who are under Probation Service supervision. Our goal is to assist them access suitable and meaningful training, education, and employment opportunities while addressing barriers that may stand in the way of that progress.

The GATE service operates within the prison. Our teams provide guidance and placement support to people throughout the prison journey, from education to employment. By offering a ‘through the gate’ service, our teams provide follow-on referrals to community-based services and support the clients’ reintegration and rehabilitation after they leave prison

The Resettlement Service is a pre-and post-release service that Tosú is uniquely placed to provide around the country. The service is run by a dynamic team of highly qualified Resettlement Coordinators who ensure that our clients can access the four key stabilising pillars upon release: resettlement planning, access to accommodation, medical cards and social welfare payments.

The Community Support Scheme is a joint initiative between Tosú and the Irish Prison Service. It is a structured release programme for people serving prison sentences of less than 18 months. The intervention comprises assessment, support and supervision, from prison to community, access to mainstream services and reintegration.

Individual Placement and Support is based at the National Forensic Mental Health Service in the Central Mental Hospital Unit. Employment has been shown to have a strong mental health protective factor and provides a range of other social and economic outcomes for people with mental health difficulties.
