Does Any one know what batch number and OOM they are at for county Dublin?

Angela64 · 25-05-2021 03:39PM

This morning I was told they are working on batch 23. They said there was 122 ahead of me, and I am batch 24 OOM 107

Thank you

Does anyone know if the County Council tend to be slower getting through panels for CO (less vacancies perhaps) than the Civil Service panels?

I placed 13 on panel after interview in March (no mention of batches) but no word yet. I’m dying to get offered something and the waiting game is torture!

I got offered a position for CO about 10 days ago, I was placed 14, overall it was about 10 weeks after interview

It depends on the office some work the fixed 9am - 5.45pm (5.15 on Friday) civil service hours, some offer flexi. Almost all the offices on flexi will have some local arrangement to cover the office until at least 5. The other thing that can happen is a change of Chief or Super with their own ideas on what needs to be covered.

I'd really appreciate if anyone can advise, is it possible to get subsidized for a training course or a degree as a CO? If so, does it have to be certain ones related to your role or can you do something you are interested in?do you have to wait until your probation time is finished before you can apply? Thanks,

Ideally any for which course you are asking to be subsidized will be relevant to your role or to the work of your department.

I have found that, in general, departments are very supportive of personal development and it's no harm to apply for funding. All they can do is say no.

Any advice how I could apply? Do you go to your HEO or EO and would you need to apply for funding through peoplepoint? 😊Thanks

This is the general rules for civil service, further education is done via the refund of fees scheme, some departments have further criteria around business needs and courses being recognised Gar relevant to your role or duties etc but most departments are very supportive of up skilling and further education.

Hi there,
Has anyone in batch 23 for Dublin be offered a job yet?
I have submitted my paperwork and awaiting my Garda clearance. Hoping all is processed by next week. Any info appreciated.

Marksman73 · 28-05-2021 08:57PM

My partner interviewed about a month ago and was told they passed the interview and placed 106 on the co Dublin panel. I’m seeing all these batch numbers and confused as they didn’t get a batch number.

Marksman73 · 28-05-2021 09:14PM

Also since there is no clerical officer campaign this year yet, I’m presuming that the panel will run past End of may

Angela64 · 28-05-2021 09:17PM

There is no end date for the panel at the moment

If the message delivered was on the Publicjobs website, check it again. They don't give a OOM number without a batch number.

Angela64 · 29-05-2021 12:17AM

I did my interview on 3rd May. I got batch 24 OOM 107. I sent a message asking about the end date and got a reply that there wasn't any yet.

Hi anyone been offered a place with the HSE since the cyber attack happened?..or can we expect a long delay?

daffodill50 · 29-05-2021 10:32AM

Can you apply for mobility on day one of your perm CO role? If so, how do you submit the request?

You can apply but you won't be eligible for a move until you've completed 2 years in your current location. You apply through People Point.

Can anyone give me some advice. I recently got a job as a clerical officer and I am delighted but when I told my employer I was leaving I was offered more money my take home pay is 600 the job is stressful 9-5 retail which I never intended on staying long 12 years later I'm still here I cycle to work in 10 mins. I really want to try my hand in the public sector but would I be mad to consider this paycut and the Clerical officer job would mean a 45min commute need an answer by Monday my head is melted

You would be only lower money to start but you will move up the pay scale, there is a lot more pros than cons for a Co in my opinion, I think its great to get a job like that, the benefits and maybe not as stressful as your current position which is better for your health in the long run, your pension, sick leave, job security etc.. I would take the pay cut and take the Co position and in a couple of years you will have the same money your on now.. The flexi time but help with the commute ðŸ˜

As a clerical officer it'll be a long time before you take home 600 euro a week:pac:
