WHAT DO WE DO?

NOT JUST ALL WORK

SOCIALEvery year, Lisney holds a number of social events for staff. In recent times, these have included clay pigeon shooting, paintball, ghost bus tour, Viking splash tour, river cruise, quiz nights, cultural events, Christmas party and summer BBQ.

Lisney-sponsored staff teams take part in various sporting events such as tag rugby, soccer, tennis, sailing and marathons (even half marathons) and attend various functions such as the SCSI Young Surveyors Ball. There are also many after work evenings out!

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITyWe believe that by embracing corporate social responsibility (CSR) and acknowledging the social, ethical and environmental effects of our activities, we can have a positive impact on the local community, the environment and our own workforce. We work with several organisations such as the Simon Community, Temple Street Children’s Hospital and Junior Achievers.

Our CSR events vary from bake and book sales, to sponsored internships. A number of times a year, a Lisney department will organise a breakfast and coffee morning, where staff will mingle and collect money for a worthy cause.

In addition, throughout the year Lisney accommodates work experience placements ranging from transition year secondary school students to those in third level education. These placements provide participants with a general understanding of our work setting over a short period of time.

Each year we also act as mentors to the various courses run by DIT.

James KearneyGraduate SurveyorIndustrial Agency

“When I completed a degree in Real Estate Management at the University of Northumbria, I decided to travel. After a year I returned to London and worked in residential sales for 14 months. In March 2014 I took a position on Lisney’s graduate programme and I am now working in the Industrial Agency department. I have just applied to the SCSI to start my APC.”

Aoife O’NeillGraduate SurveyorOffice Agency

“Having completed Property Economics in DIT, I decided to take some time out before starting work and I spent four years travelling and working in Australia. I had a fantastic time and gained invaluable experience. Having just arrived home, I joined Lisney’s graduate programme in 2014 and hope to complete the APC within the next few years. I am currently working in the Office Agency as a graduate surveyor.”

In mid-2014 I decided that I wanted to get back into property and started working for Lisney in August as a graduate in the Residential department. I am currently based in the Dundrum branch where I am gaining a mass of experience. Lisney’s structured learning and training programme is assisting me on my path to becoming a chartered surveyor and full member of the SCSI and RICS.”

CAREER PROGRESSION

We want to see your career progress. Lisney offer a clear path for progression within the firm, providing ample opportunity for promotion. We aim to create a working environment which encourages and supports staff development, and provides staff with the motivation and assistance they need to deliver their best work and reach their true potential.

We are privately owned and operated by our board of directors. These directors are based in the Dublin, Cork and Belfast offices and as such, they get to know and work with all staff. We believe this allows for better career progression as your future is not being decided on by management overseas who do not know you personally, but rather by those with whom you work on an ongoing basis and know your capabilities.

The typical career path in Lisney. Obviously, some people will leave and others will join over the years, but we do offer a clear path to progression.

Graduates are provided significant assistance from Lisney with their APC process.

• On starting with the company, Lisney will provide a half day induction on what’s involved in doing the APC.

• Lisney will assign APC supervisors and counsellors to graduates.

• Graduates will be given one hour per week during working hours to either work on APC diaries or study.

• Lisney will provide at least 12 in-house APC training events annually.

• Lisney will provide at least 10 additional in-house training events annually on topical matters.

• Structured regular meetings will be organised between graduates and their counsellors / supervisors and ongoing performance feedback will be given.

• Mock interviews will be facilitated prior to sitting the APC.

THE GRADUATE PROGRAMME

Lisney has been around for 80 years.

Over that time, we have learned that our

greatest asset and the key to our success

our staff to take pride in what they do, to

work with a team of skilled and motivated

colleagues, and to find their job rewarding,

challenging, interesting and enjoyable.
