Yes. I have seen single units moved to other departments or just smaller groups of staff such as a AP and their direct reporting staff who are responsible for a a specific policy area moved to other departments after a election as part of the horse trading.

Of course there are bigger moves where entire divisions are moved around like how integration moved to children last election and is now moving back to Justice.

Nothing concrete for my post yet but there is rumblings and I would like to plan ahead and not be on the back foot. I have been a external mobility waitlist for a while and wouldnt want that progress to be lost.

It happens basically every election. After the last one there were large moves between Heath+Children, Justice+Children, DRCD+Housing, and of course Education+FHERIS.

I misread the above post the first time and thought it was about moving office location while in the same role, but the principle applies for change of Department due to transfer of functions as well.

Sorry @solidasarock

Does anyone know what the ratio is in terms of filling a vacancy with someone n an internal transfer list within a department and someone on a mobility list?

tgdaly

Differs depending on the grade:

CO – 1 in 2 vacant posts will be filled though Mobility.

EO* – 40% Open: 30% Interdepartmental** : 30% Internal.

HEO - 1 in 6 vacant posts will be filled through Mobility. Mobility will fulfil an Interdepartmental liability.

AO – 1 in 6 vacant posts will be filled through Mobility.

AP – 1 in 6 vacant posts will be filled through Mobility – 1 in 3 to be advertised. Mobility will fulfil an Open liability.

PO – 1 in 6 vacant posts will be filled through Mobility – 1 in 3 to be advertised. Mobility will fulfil an Open liability.

*The EO sequencing will revert to 50% Open : 25% Interdepartmental : 25% Internal on conclusion of the Public Service Stability Agreement, 2018-2020.

Hi there, just looking for some advice,

I've been a CO since July 21, I was a TCO for 6 months, got a permanent contract in dsp, I moved department again in Feb 23 to the courts via an external application. I had to take a career break in October 23 due to family issues which I'm still on. I have since applied for mobility.

I know it's 2 years in the same zone, will the 2 departments add together for the requirements and does the Career Break come into play?

Cheers

Hey, I just want to ask a question to the thread. I'm an AO who has applied for mobility in Dublin.

I applied for list based mobility last June. I am currently number 15 on the list for DPER and Finance. I know there are people on this thread who were called when they were in their early/mid teens on the list. Are there any AO's here who had this experience? I understand it may be different for AO/HEOs especially given the fact that AO is an open recruitment grade.

i would guess they were called as people before them either turned it down or have their mobility frozen

SpringThing

Can you be called for mobility before the two years is up in a Department? If you have passed probation and in your second year?

There's a "Check your Eligibility" section on the NSSO, until all five say "Yes", you aren't going anywhere.

I'm not eligible yet but I've placed myself on the list, am.i right in saying once I get high up pause it?

Nigel Fairservice

Just pause it now. You'll still move up the list but just won't receive offers.

skidmarkoner

OK didn't know that thanks

apkmbarry

No need to pause it unless you don't actually want to move and want to just have options in the future.

You won't be offered unless you're eligible.

Newbie12345The

You can get to No1 when your still not eligible but once you hit your 2 years and once they have a vacancy - you can go fairly quick

hi all AO just put in for mobility 30-95 on the lists in selected depts etc just want to know is it a first called for first taken re offers ?

also if I accept and start is it that I cannot move for another 2 years on mobility (list or advert?) but could I go for an internal comp or a national comp I.e. an EO opportunity on PAS?

Thanks so much (sorry if these are very basic questions in really confused!)

I think I remember reading on the NSSO that you could realistically be offered anytime from 40 and below as you don't know if the people before you are eligible. (Had a coworker move to Foreign Affairs on mobility at no.37, EO)

Exactly, you won't be eligible to move for two years, but can still join the lists.

It wouldn't make sense to go for an EO Comp when you're already above it. I suppose an open HEO comp would be accessible, but again you're on that level anyway.

sorry yes HEO or HAO! Mistakenly typed, though these seem to be pretty elusive to get ?

Good to know re the lists and placing on them thank you!
