Just opened today! Anyone know what percentage of job offers are based outside Dublin just out of curiosity?
That’s very helpful to know. Thank you. So I presume there would be hundreds of people working on the floor there?
There's about 200 on the entire floor over the 2 wings. But it never seems like that. One thing that I have just remembered is that we have a day called anchor day and that is when the entire section is in the office the same day. But not every section has the same anchor day.
Ok thank you. I don’t think this job will suit my personal situation as I need blended. I’ll be looking at other job options.
Mine is next Wednesday.
Anyone here get the EO that was already a CO? If so what happened to your annual leave? I carried over 15 days into this leave year on top of this years annual leave. Will the carried over 15 days all have to be used before taking up the EO? Does anyone have any experience of what happens. TIA.
What board do you have?
I’m in batch 9 and was emailed for clearance today 🙂.
You can carry over. Only thing you can't carry over is TILE
Just got an email to say I’ve been allocated to the department of justice and to fill out the extra clearance forms. I requested to stay within my department I’m currently in and they requested too so obviously wasn’t meant to be! Have no knowledge of justice at all so can anyone give any insight? I currently do blended working… do justice allow blended working? And is there flexi? Thanks for your help.
I am in batch 9 interdepartmental, got clearance email and an email to say I am staying in justice as requested and will be offered a post soon and given a start date!
Probation in justice do blended working and some offices have flexi too
When did you get the clearance email, and how long between that and the justice offer please?
I only got the justice clearance email this afternoon
Is most of justice’s offices in town?
Yes, I heard immigration are very short staffed and most posts are with them!
Does anyone know if there is going to be an external EO comp for 2023?
Hi, depends where you are, I have friends in the IPO who work 4 days office 1 at home and then others 3 days in the office and 2 from home.
@aaron5250 dont think so..this comp runs to June 2024 if I recall correct
Yes I was an CO & all my annual leave carried over so you will be fine.
Any update on the kerry panel
People who have been called for clearance in the Open Stream in Batch 9 for Dublin, whereabouts was your order of merit after the interview?? Don't need an exact number, just a rough indication. Trying to figure out when I might be called...
I got called for clearance last week, 5th on the interdepartmental panel batch 9.
I’ve found out that my section in DSP only offer 2 days WFH after 9 months. Not great. I’m gonna keep looking for other jobs. Lot of other jobs offering more flexibility. If civil service offer poor flexibility on low pay, they’re really going to struggle to recruit. There has to be some benefit.
Hi all! Had my Interview yesterday, could I ask how long people waited to hear back? Thanks!
Hi, looking back at previous batches I guess the 2nd of June after the 2 weeks of interviews are complete, doing mine soon, can you tell me how was it, how did you find it?
I only had to wait a week
It went well, Interviewers were very friendly, they spent some time at the start going through my application form and asking questions about my jobs before going into the competencies. They also asked a lot of questions based on my competency examples. They'll interrupt you a lot so be prepared for that too. At the end they asked some stuff about civil service core values, so try to incorporate some of those and the civil service renewal plan into your answers too ;)
Hi,
I currently work as an EO in the Public sector, and I recently received a start date for the civil service.
Does my current public sector payscale transfer across to my new role with the Civil service?
Thanks
Yes. Be sure to remind HR that you are an existing public servant. I was able to carry my more generous public service annual leave entitlement also.
Thankyou for the reply.
I have emailed the new HR to remind them.
Looking forward to the new role.
Many thanks
