What stood out to me from the booklet is this: "It is not envisaged that appointments will be made from this competition after 31 January 2023." That can't be right surely?

I might be incorrect on that, but for other interdepartmental competitions I don't think there was a 2 year wait for appointments. Edit: I've went back and checked previous interdepartmental HEO competitions and I was wrong - Appointments are only taken 2 years after the competition starts.

MrsBean wrote: » I really think you're misinterpreting the information. Booklet states "it is not envisaged that appointments will be made from this competition after 31 January 2023". This means that after 31 January 2023 the panel will expire, usually because a new competition will have gone live. For example the 2019 Comp went live March 2019 and stated that appointments will not be made after April 2021. Hence opening this competition now so that there is always a panel of successful applicants to draw from.

pew wrote: » I only recently got a promotion as eo but have 3.5 years under my belt. I thought I couldn't apply for it as I'm still on probation. It's worth noting it states that you are eligible to apply if you are on probation under the condition you would have been eligible had you stayed in your previous role. Unless I'm reading it wrong!! "Officers on probation are not eligible to compete except where they would have been eligible has they remained in their previous grade."

Qualifications/eligibility may not be verified by PAS until the final stage of the process." So if PAS can't provide an answer who can I contact? I can't really apply and go through all the stages only to be told at the end I'm ineligible

You must have two yrs served by 12/01/21 From the booklet: be serving in a permanent, temporary or acting capacity in the Civil Service in a grade below that of Higher Executive Officer or equivalent. b) on or before the closing date of[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]12 January 2021 [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial][/FONT][/FONT]have not less than two years’ service in the Civil Service. Temporary officers and officers serving in an acting capacity in the eligible grades may compete in the competition provided they fulfil the eligibility requirements set out above. All forms of maternity leave, including extended maternity leave, constitute service for the purpose of calculating the two year service requirement in the Civil Service (see Letter to Personnel Officers dated 10 March 2009 – Extension of Probation due to Maternity Leave and Competitions for Promotion).
tgdaly wrote: » Yes but my query was whether they were counting time served in a local authority towards the 2 years, I won't have the 2 years before Jan 12th, I'd certainly have it before an offer was made as I'm 2 years in March in government departments, I'll only be 22 months in January but I did 7 months in a LA before that. I've emailed HR in DPER so hopefully they can clarify
