The last update I got, and it was a couple of months ago, there was 1 placed in Offaly and 15 in Westmeath so I won't be holding my breath for a placement in the lifetime of this panel :rolleyes:

Not sure what to do ðŸ˜’I’m late 600’s

I am early 1000's and got the email for expression of interest for revenue commissioners. I would love it if I had a licence. Soo much more interesting than a desk job!

What does it involve that a licence is a requirement ? Travel or mobility of some description obviously but what exactly ? Accompanying Gardai at checkpoints ??

As a matter of interest, if I were to be offered a position, at what point should I be handing in my notice to my current employer? After garda vetting and reference checks? Would, for example 2 months notice once Garda Vetting and reference checks are done be acceptable to the Civil Service or would they try and nail down a start date once job offer has been accepted?

Also, when would they issue a contract? Would this be after garda vetting is completed too?

I'm sure a starting date could be agreed with PAS once you've overcome all the hurdles

Do you have to give your employer 2 months notice? That seems like alot.

If thats what you require I would think they would faciliate it but the usual would two to four weeks notice of start date.

They gave me 6 weeks notice to start and I needed to give my job 4 weeks but their 6 weeks notice was before my vetting was back(on condition it returned ok). I’ve never been in trouble in my life but still was worried about handing in my notice knowing it could be revoked if my vetting didn’t pass. But it did come back before the 4 weeks notice was required for work. PAS are extremely helpful in explaining things when they offer you the job.

Any here get the expression of interest for Revenue/customs in Dublin? I’m late 800’s and got it today. Wasn’t expecting to hear anything for a while yet

A friend got this also.
The problem is that if they offer you the position and you decline you're off the panel.
Do you know what the salary scale is on this? Or where could I find it.
It's hard to apply not knowing what you'll actually be doing or where you'll be located.

"Should you express an interest in the above position and/or attend for interview, you will no longer be considered for other vacancies that may arise throughout the course of the Clerical Officer 2020 competition and will only be considered for a CO Customs Officer role. However, should you be successful and your place on the panel not reached, your interview result will be carried over and your place reinstated on the Stage 1 Clerical Officer 2020 panel."

Is it a short term contract also?
"What happens if the Brexit transition is extended?
You will remain employed by Revenue for the duration of your contract."
So are they saying that when Brexit negotiations are over, your contract ends?

Thanks for any help or answers to above.

Edit to say just found salary scale

I also got the expression of interest enquiry for revenue customs officers today. I'm around 1200 in the OOM for Dublin. I don't have a licence so can't take it but it does sound like an interesting role.

No this isn’t a short term contract in that the panel is for permanent positions so you could be appointed in the positions (that they are advertising now) but if it is to do with Brexit and it finishes up you get moved to within the revenue not let go.

Ah damn! I'm kicking myself that I didn't select Dublin as one of my choices. I would have jumped at this. This is an ideal opportunity to fast track yourself into the public sector than waiting ages for a desk position. Plus, I assume that you'd get extra money with it being shift work!? Do you think that there would be any of these positions or similar in the 2021 CO competition?

They come up Frequently. I missed out by 2 places in 2016 (closed at 23 and I was 25 I think) and in 2018 panel i expressed interest in revenue when the email went out and went in that way so that I didn’t miss out again. Mine wasn’t on the road or shift work it was a desk job but I enjoy it

24,104 (461.96) – 25,681 (492.18) – 26,083 (499.85) – 26,864 (514.83) – 28,017 (536.93) – 29,167 (558.99) – 30,319 (581.05) – 31,157 (597.11) – 32,105 (615.29) – 33,209 (636.43) – 33,986 (651.32) – 35,078 (672.24) – 36,162 (693.04) – 37,855 (725.48) – LSI 1 39,186 (750.99) – LSI 2 39,796 (762.68)

You generally start at point 1 on the scale so 24,104. What can happen is shift allowance of 10-25% in certain roles.

Ok, so I emailed and it is not possible to be transferred to another region after applications have close. Which is totally understandable. Plus there will be always next year sure!

I am also a firm believer in 'what's for you, won't pass you!'. So it's just not meant to be.

Just a FYI for Galway candidates. I emailed PAS this morning and they are still at No 10.
