Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2022 | Civil Service - publicjobs.ie
As the poster above says, you could be in the new job in 4-6 weeks. I would say, if you can afford to quit sooner, your mental health is absolutely the most important thing. You certainly wouldn't be penalised by the CS if you told them you had quit your job to take a break before you take up your new post.
In terms of the UK police cert, I was emailed on 09/01/23 to say they had posted mine out, and it still hasn't arrived due to the backlog, if that's of any help. Best of luck and mind yourself.
Clearance shouldn't be much longer so absolutely hang on for the time being, I reckon if everything goes well you should be in a new job in 4-6 weeks.
Does anyone know where things are at with me?
Been provisionally allocated a position in Dublin with PAS, does this mean providing the clearance is all good I'll be starting soon?
I know it sounds desperate but thing is, my current job is affecting my mental health so badly & I really need to move asap, would you say it's worth resigning or should I hang on until I hear back about the clearance?
I've submitted most of the clearance documents aside from a UK police certificate which they have allowed more time for given the postage.
Just really confused with the length of time & lack of clarity, haven't worked in civil service before & only been in Ireland for a year.
Would really appreciate any thoughts
So the qualifying score was 2180 and my friend got near 6000, just wondering how I can tell where about hes fallen in terms of a timeline of likely to be contacted, Jan, Feb etc...
Excited yet anxious at the same time to see where I (we) get, have sent my employment statements in and waiting on my Garda vetting just over a week now, just hope I get something I like and that has at least a couple of days WFH.
@Charliesha Thank you so much. I didn't even know you could do that
Yeah hopefully it works for me too. I have no idea what I will be offered but I am hoping it’s better than what I’m doing. If not I suppose I will have to just stay where I am.
Don’t forgot in October to keep checking the public jobs website to see when the next CO comp is live and also you can email CO2022@publicjobs.ie and request a copy of your interview notes at any time. That’s what I done and I re studied all the questions I was asked last time. I got a higher OOM this time around.
Good Luck and hope it works out for you 💪🏻
I waited 4 weeks but that was because of the Christmas holidays
How long after vetting finished and viewed are people waiting to hear back from PAS?
@Charliesha92 I think that's what I am going to do. I got an email today saying that I will be starting soon.
No I was offered Revenue and started in August. I’m currently going through the process again as I want out of Revenue and hope I get offered a new department.
Maybe email clearance and ask them what happens if you refuse ?
If not you could always accept stay for a few months and then do the option I’ve done and reapply for the next CO that opens in October.You might get a higher OOM second time around and be quicker to get an interview and switch departments that way ?
Edir
Would the Port Inspector be part of the Dublin only campaign? I'd love something like that.
I assume that will be the same for the current TCO comp too?
Passport office, Revenue for sure, Justice and DSP too from what I've heard.
Hi
Does anyone know what kind of positions are been offered on the CO2022 Dublin only competition. Seen portal inspector been offered, is that not a separate competition.
Means surplus to the CO comp, mass Email, just ignore
On looking at it again, I don't think it's an offer. Rather an "expression of interest".
It says:
If you wish to be considered for interview for this role please email CO2022@publicjobs.ie expressing your interest by 9am on Friday, 20th January 2023.
But it doesn't say anything about what happens if not interested.
I just got an email from PAS asking if I fancied going for an interview for this position. I don't have a car myself and really don't want shift work again in my life. I now fear that when I'm called for interview, and if successful, it'll now be for this position. They must be struggling to fill the roles?
Normally a refusal means your out. But that seems a reasonable excuse to refuse
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what happens if you refuse an offer?
My girlfriend got offered port inspector and doesn't want it. Now, it does say that the Portal Inspector is required to have access to their own transport, which she does not have, so that's a legitimate excuse.
When I joined the CS 20 years ago, I was given a choice of departments.

Best thing to do would be to email pas and ask them as soon as you can. There was a thread on here a while ago about AGS clerical staff being moved from civil service to AGS and loads of the staff put in for transfers to try get moved before it happens
@Charliesha92 It's frustrating that I am on the 2022 panel for a year now. It's such a long process. I honestly don't know what to do. Weren't you able to turn down your first offer before, or am I wrong?
Yeah they are changing AGS from Civil service to the Public Sector. Like that comment above says you will loose all civil service benefits and won’t be able to transfer. I have heard too if you get put in a station you can just be stuck there with no option of a promotion ever.
Definitely think it over before agreeing to that change.
@Hotblack Desiato Really? I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up
The government is planning to strip AGS civilian staff of civil servant status - once this happens you're basically stuck there, can't apply for mobility or promotions in the civil service, only very limited promotion options within AGS civilians. Very bad move career wise I'm afraid so avoid if at all possible.
Thanks! Will hopefully get offered there so heard mixes reviews about it but would be happy if offered a contract there.
Probably a good chance of 11 months - they have permission for the same staff numbers they had last year and lots have left
Thanks! So I might be heading there so. I’m waiting to hear what my assignment is. Do you by any chance know if the TCO contracts in the passport office will be of a decent length?
