Causeway Coast and Glens: where WeeJobs is live

WeeJobs is live in Ballymoney and the Causeway Coast and Glens area. Starting locally helps the marketplace build density, understand real job demand, and improve the experience before wider Northern Ireland coverage.

Why launch locally first?

Local marketplaces work best when there are enough customers and enough workers in the same area. A focused launch helps WeeJobs learn what people need, which job categories are most active, and where response times can improve.

• Customers get a clearer local launch area.
• Workers and tradies can focus on nearby jobs.
• Feedback can shape the app before wider rollout.
• Coverage can grow in a more practical way.

What live means here

The live area is Causeway Coast and Glens, with Ballymoney at the heart of the local start. That includes coastal towns and surrounding villages where customers need practical help and tradespeople already work. It does not mean every provider covers every town, or that someone is available for every job. Your job details and the areas people cover still matter.

Browse Ballymoney, Coleraine, Portrush, Portstewart or Ballycastle to see the local trade pages. These explain the kinds of work you can post. They are not promises about how quickly someone will reply or how much the work will cost.

For customers: start with the job

Download the app through Get WeeJobs. Posting a job is free. Describe what needs doing, add useful photos and say where and when the work is needed. You can use ordinary language rather than knowing the technical name for every fitting or repair. Clear information helps local people decide whether the work suits them.

Approved tradespeople and helpers who cover your area can show interest. You choose who suits you rather than having somebody automatically assigned. Ask questions about scope, materials and timing, and agree the price before work begins. For a job that needs a look first, explain that you want a quote or site visit rather than guessing a fixed cost.

The app keeps the job's next steps together. Read the booking and payment details shown to you before confirming. A clear job description is still important after somebody is selected, especially if a change needs agreeing. The aim is to make those conversations easier, not replace the judgement needed to choose the right person.

For tradespeople and helpers

If you work in the live area, apply as a tradesperson. Explain your trade, the areas you cover and the work you want to take on. Use a clear profile photo and examples of your own recent work. Customers need practical information about who you are and whether your skills suit their job.

Applications are reviewed before a provider is approved to use the marketplace. Approval does not replace qualifications, registration or insurance needed for particular work. Be clear about what you can do and honest about what needs another specialist. You remain responsible for working safely, lawfully and within your competence.

Once approved, choose suitable local opportunities rather than showing interest in everything. Read the current Wee Bucks rules and any plan details displayed in the app before spending credits or subscribing. The marketplace does not promise a minimum amount of work, and your availability and coverage remain your decision.

What comes next

If you are outside Causeway Coast and Glens, register your interest for area updates. That helps us understand where people want WeeJobs next. It is not a booking request or a promise of a launch date. We do not describe other parts of Northern Ireland as live before they are ready.

Local feedback matters while the service grows. Tell us if a job category is confusing, a description needs improving or a step is hard to understand. You can use support for a problem with the service. Practical feedback helps us improve what is here now without pretending that wider coverage already exists.

For a first post, read how to write a good small job post. If you are joining to find work, start with an accurate profile and the places you genuinely cover. WeeJobs is live locally, and the goal is useful connections between real jobs and people suited to doing them.
