CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

Oh that's brilliant! Delighted for you.👍️ Best of luck in your new role :)

I did my CO interview after being a TCO for a few months (I had applied for both around the same time, before I started the TCO contract) and they asked in the CO interview whether I had anything to update about my job experience. They’ll most likely ask, and if not definitely mention it because they will take it into consideration

In response to this ^

Hi,

I got an email over a week ago to start garda vetting "as it can take some time". I've sent in all that was asked for vetting plus self declaration form.

Garda vetting hasn't moved to in progress yet in the tracker and I haven't heard from "a case worker will be in touch with you" from PAS to go through the rest of pre clearance.....

Long winded but I know others who got an email to say you're now under consideration for a position in X location, please complete vetting and self declaration forms.....and they were contacted within a few days from PAS......

MY email doesn't mention I'm under consideration.......just wondering is anyone else in the same boat and does anyone know is it imminent that I or we will be under consideration for a location very shortly? Boss is putting pressure on me to book Christmas holidays and don't want to do anything to see if I will be getting an offer. If so I'll be using up all my holidays and not carrying some over to next year

Hi All, So, just wondering if they got to your OOM for interview. Do you get a new OOM and have to wait again til your reached for a job offer? And then my next question is, if you have a new OOM is that valid past the end date of this competition 31st Jan 2023? Thanks :)

Same for me. Submitted vetting over a week ago now and still hasn't been looked at unfortunately. Jan 31st deadline is getting close 😳

Previous addresses, photo ID(passport) and a utility bill with current address is what I submitted

Yeah there's alternate options you can use, bank statement might be one of them, think a P60 or a letter from current employer with address on it are others

Didn't know that. The Garda vetting application though, specifically stated a P60 or P45 doc as being an acceptable form for vetting purposes.

Sounds like that template of theirs needs to be updated.

@NigelB770 I'm in the same boat too. I emailed them the form for vetting and the Self declaration form over a week ago now. I haven't heard anything yet. I also still haven't gotten this link for vetting that you're supposed to get. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get this link to start the vetting process?

There was a Dublin only and a Temporary Clerical Officer campaign a few weeks ago. There hasn't been a 2023 nationwide campaign advertised yet. It's getting late in the year now. Hopefully they might extend the current nationwide panel beyond the end of Jan 31st. Its happened before I've been told by a friend in the civil service

The new one is only for Dublin though - shouldn't affect people getting placed in other regions.

There have been Dublin only campaigns before. I guess with the volume of government buildings in Dublin they are bound to need many more COs than the rest of the country.

My hunch is that the CO 2022 nationwide campaign will be extended, as both the TCO and Dublin CO campaign are ongoing and in the very early stages.
