Does anyone know anything about what it's like in the court services? Is there flexi time?

Hey I started in courts in CCJ a few weeks ago. It’s a busy office environment, people are all lovely, unfortunately flexi is not available atm. Working from home is not an option either.!

Does anyone know if many new staff in Dublin are being offered a position outside the City centre offices?

I would assume most positions in departments with offices outside of town are being filled by mobility and established staff looking to reduce their commute, and new staff are taking their place?

Hello. Excuse my ignorance on this matter as its the first time i have applied for a state job. I recently made it onto clare county council panel in the mid 20s positons. I was just wondering what are the chances i get offered a job and the time scale. Some one told me mid 20s was good? Thanks

Hi, I am not sure how county council panels work, the likelihood will depend on how many staff they would have at the grade you applied for, this might be something that's available online, it would give you an idea anyway. If you were placed in the 20s in the civil service panel for Clare, you would very likely be offered a job.

Im not really sure how councils work either panel wise. Hopefully it will lead to a job i was told the panel is for one year but is always extended to 2 years.

TBH I'm not liking the upgrade at all. It seems to be slower to load and is not as user friendly, but we'll probably just get used to it in time.

Does anybody know when the 2020 panel will end? Is it up to the individual county.

I emailed PAS many months back asking this question. They said basically that it was due to expire in May but could be extended which is what happened. I assume they will keep this open until a new competition is announced.

@claregal1 can I ask did your HSE service count towards increments? I'm with a county council and am placed on the civil service panel so just wondering if my lengthy service with council will carry over?

Do clerical officer get placed in Revenue from this panel? I am on the CO panel for Louth and got an email stating Dundalk as the location - other than Social Welfare - just wondering what other departments I may be placed in? Thanks

Did anyone outside of Dublin wait longer than a month after passing the interview to hear back about a position? My new OOM is 3. I thought they were only interviewing for available positions but the email I received after the interview stated 'you are not guaranteed a job'. Hoping the competition doesn't close anytime soon.

Took me three months to get a pension service letter from them.

Has anyone here been assigned to or working in DPER?

Is there only the 1 office?

Is it the usual CO tasks?

Are there options for flexi /WFH?

For those hoping to move from Public Service to Civil Service, are there any other documents other than 'Verification of Service Letter' that we should request from HR when leaving so as to have as much paperwork in order to make the changeover as smooth as possible.

Just the letter is all I was asked for - don't think you can request it until you hand in your notice .
