Ive no idea. Was hoping someone on here might know!

Banterbus28 · 14-02-2018 7:14pm

Online tests will limely be Situational judegement and verbal reasoning

Banterbus28 · 14-02-2018 7:15pm

The tests will be online, if you have ever done a civil service test then you have a good idea what it'll be like.

fermanaghKB · 14-02-2018 7:25pm

has anyone heard about the dispatcher job yet?

jwhdkl5736 · 15-02-2018 2:17am

Should we be concerned that Detention Officers are currently being outsourced to Noonan?

Do you suppose this is temporary cover until PSNI CDO's receive full training or have they not found what they were looking for in the last campaign?

Goimg by the licence requirements this looks more like a detained person escort role

Banterbus28 · 15-02-2018 9:06am

Also i believe that noonan retained the contract for providing CDO ad hoc cover

You see that's what I thought. However, it's the role of the Prisoner Escorting and Court Custody Service to transport prisoners from custody suites to court... I don't know what the minibus D1 licence lark is about. It wasn't a requirement for the PSNI CDO's.

To operate mobile custody suites for events maybe?

The outsourced roles are for prisoner transport usually. CDOs are now police staff

So taking detainees to hospital etc instead of tying up crews? And taking them to prison if remanded?

majgreen · 15-02-2018 9:00pm

Lol I wish! Still police that sit with people in hospital unfortunately

Banterbus28 · 15-02-2018 9:21pm

So the outsources is probs just so crews arent tied up taking remanded people to and from prison/secure care facilities.

majgreen · 15-02-2018 9:22pm

Prison and court transfers

stm1 · 16-02-2018 1:00pm

Call handlers check your email ðŸ˜Ž

Lou Lou 73 · 16-02-2018 1:03pm

ðŸ˜ ive never completed a situational judgment test before. Will it be devised specifically for the role of call handler or be similar to the generic type ones online?

Banterbus28 · 16-02-2018 1:17pm

Call handlers and CDOs are equivalent to AOs and Dispatchers to EO2 so the test will be slightly varied to reflect this.

Lockie101 · 16-02-2018 3:43pm

Sup guys, long time no speak! For those call handler wannabe’s like me, the test looks like it is live now

Banterbus28 · 16-02-2018 4:08pm

Good luck guys.

Lockie101 · 16-02-2018 4:28pm

Just finished but can obviously say nothing about it, good luck to everyone else. I was reading through the comments i have missed the past while, still no word on dispatcher role??

Banterbus28 · 16-02-2018 5:43pm

Nope nothing yet.

Lockie101 · 16-02-2018 6:02pm

Shame, I am assuming a similar selection process to the CH?

Blondamundo · 20-02-2018 8:16pm

Okkkk so who is reeaalllllly fed up waiting....on reflection perhaps it wasn't the best idea to have 3 roles advertised and closing on the same day!

You need to jist switch off when it comes to waiting on the PSNI lol

stm1 · 20-02-2018 10:54pm

I wonder how they set the pass mark for this. I assume it'll b high.

Banterbus28 · 20-02-2018 11:40pm

As there was no competency based questions on the applications the sift will just be based on do you have the qualifications or not.

Then online testing Verbal reason (TFCT) and SJTs. Scored.

Then the interviews will be competency based. Scored. Against a threshold.

Each competency answer will be scored im a similar manner to the following;

1 Not Demonstrated No positive evidence of the competency
2 Minimal Demonstration Limited positive evidence of the competency
3 Moderate Demonstration Moderate positive evidence of the competency
4 Acceptable Demonstration Adequate positive evidence of the competency
5 Good Demonstration Substantial positive evidence of the competency
6 Strong Demonstration Substantial, positive evidence of the competency and includes some evidence of exceeding expectations
7 Outstanding Demonstration Evidence provided wholly exceeds expectation at this level

Lockie101 · 22-02-2018 12:03am

SJT test results in the next 2/3 weeks considering the dates for the start of the interviews I assume

I wouldnt get your hopes up, yes the civil service is a much bigger organisation yet my yest results came out in July 2016 and I didnt get an interview until March 2017... Yet scored 84%....

Public sector is sloooooow when it comes to admin, like i said turn off in the interim go do fun things, look at those jobs etc

No news is good news

FinalTry32 · 23-02-2018 2:19am

One positive is that they are looking to start a CH course soon as some of the people already in the role will be going to a dispatch course in the near future so they will want to fill the places.

Good Luck to anyone who applied!!

stm1 · 23-02-2018 8:04am

The SJT wasn't easy. Fingers crossed ive done enough. Good luck to those who are doing it.

Banterbus28 · 23-02-2018 12:21pm

I reckon money is the key factor in why this is taking time, I work in the public sector and because of the absent government Departments are afraid to commit resources in case they lose that money forever.

So we will see what a direct rule justice minister from the NIO gives the PSNI...

Maybe some of that billion quid could float this way ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

My messages were being weird and not letting me in as well, had to go to legacy site. However it won't let you open legacy site on the message page, go to home page then click legacy site.

Slo85 · 25-02-2018 5:18pm

It said on my email that they are currently processing applications for dispatcher and will be in contact in due course

Banterbus28 · 25-02-2018 5:51pm

Must be using the email address the form was sent from rather than the personal one i put on the form ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

Blondamundo · 26-02-2018 4:34pm

They said 2 - 3 weeks. 4 weeks ago......

Blondamundo · 26-02-2018 4:34pm
