Someone might give me the answer to this please. For "Interdepartmental " stream would working in HSE meet criteria. Also, is there ever "Internal" EO positions advertised (literally emails sent to current staff) advising of EO vacancies?

Thanks in advance

Yes, if you have 2 years of service + the other requirements.

if you are not eligible in a interdepartmental, you can apply for the external EO competition on PAS.

No - the Information Booklet says it must be Civil Service experience, and the HSE is a Public Service body.

There are Internal EO competitions in almost all civil service bodies (I think some of the very small ones may not have them). I imagine it is similar in the public service.

Where would people recommend as second preference. Based on positions who would the most.

Waterford

Carlow

Wicklow

I'm currently based in Wexford and these are all good communtes for me so thinking who would be most likely to hire good numbers

The mobility map might help it lists the number of positions in each area at each level. Sorry it won't let me post link but if you google civil service mobility map you'll find it.

Just wondering if it’s worth applying. I’m was promoted to EO from the 2020 competition and I’m really unhappy where I am. I gave it a few months to see if I’ll settle in but I’m dreading going into the office every day.

interdepartmental stream said that you have to be a grade below and other requirements. Does this mean that I’ll have to wait for another year and a half till mobility kicks in or can I go for this competition for two streams to see if I can move to another place or even closer to home?

I did that for over 4 months a few years ago. It eventually took it's toll on my family life too and I left before my contract was up. It's a horrible situation to find yourself in. Apply for the open stream, you have nothing to lose.

Thank you

My logic on this is its DEPR and I dont know of any offices around the country try apart from Dublin . So if it’s Nationwide it would be WFH ? So then would every county have equal oppertunity ?

You can apply for the Open competition once you meet the requirements. Interdepartmental only applies to civil service departments. The HSE definitely holds internal competitions for EO & higher grades for HSE for current HSE employees.

All civil service departments fall under the umbrella of DPER so all counties have various departments eg Revenue, Social Welfare etc. WFH or blended working varies from department to department dependant on structure & type of work.

Hi, considering applying for the open competition, have not worked in the civil service yet but have an offer for co. Is that allowed? Is it looked on badly if you do this when just starting the co role? Also was wondering is it a much more difficult role, I work in the private sector at the moment in a supervisory/manager level, at a low level. Any advice of expectations of an eo state would be great. Thank you

Yes, that's allowed. The civil service are used to people moving on & up etc. The EO role varies dependant on department but you have experience at supervisory level so I'm sure you'd have no problem. Go for it would be my advice.

I'm having an issue with the application form. The dates on my employment history keeps disappearing when I scroll up or down. Anyone else having this issue?

You need to put in dd/mm/yyyy. They kept disappearing on me when I put in mm/yyyy

lisabiscuit

@furrybones Ah! I was just doing month year too. Brilliant, thanks for your help. Best of luck :)

The booklet has an end date of June 2024.

I've tried to search keywords to find my answer but nothing appeared.

Does anyone know roughly the timeline between applying and being assigned, obviously depending on where you are in merit, but even a rough guide if anyone knows anyone who has been through it. Interested in EO, but wouldn't be available until Christmas-ish time to start, but still interested in throwing my name into the hat.

Moreso just nosiness. Interested in a change, and sure the experience of the application could be helpful for next time.

I actually never knew that and presumed this role would be policy formation . Cheers for that . I may apply so 😆

If you look up the 2020 campaign (there is a boards page) there are people that applied in 2020 which have only been placed in 2022 . It can take quite some time to be placed depending on you OOM (order of merit). For example in 2020 campaign I believe there was a test which gave you the first OOM they then pulled from this in Batches of people for an etray exercise which then gave you a new OOM and then from this they brought for Interview which updated your OOM. Application process and placement can take quite some time.

Does this show the positions for the open stream or just interdepartmental?

Waterford is probably the best on your list of areas for 2nd choice. I'm in the same boat myself for that area but always choose Waterford.

The mobility map shows the amount of Officers each department is allocated to run efficiently-not the amount of vacancies available I'm afraid. Its to give you an idea of which department may have need of filling vacancies. If a department has only need of 1 EO for example then it's unlikely to be looking for more if you get what I mean. Revenue on the other hand is a large employer- they need more officers so chances are better there as more people move up/retire

How far back are folk going with the Employment History section, like back to day 1 jobs or last few years?

It will allow you enter 10 employments so you need to go back as far as you can.
