2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

Have you a link to this cant seem to find it on Public Jobs

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

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.

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.

The new competition opened today. https://www.publicjobs.ie/en/competition-pages/executive-officer-2022

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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

Is this panel going to be one or two years?

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.

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.

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.

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