NRS12805 National Grade IV 2022

Captaingaol... I'm on a supplementary panel. It said on it that candidates may be offered temporary positions/part time positions/specific purpose (like covering maternity leave I assume). Depending on your circumstances, just getting in the door could be a first move (obviously in a role you feel you would enjoy/would be suitable). If it's only 12 months, chances are other opportunities will come up while you are in the role and also, you might be offered permanency. Also, I recently started a HSE funded job role and my contract is 12 months, but it auto renews every year.

Thanks Rob for that. It will be a long wait so for the Supplementary panel.

Hi Will346

I accepted a job and just waiting to sign the contract, i'd say it was roughly 6 weeks from the start of the EOI to accepting my position and in that time 95% were full time. I'd have been interested in part time myself. I saw 3/4 part time jobs advertised but they were specified purpose/ fixed term and at opposite ends of the country.

I accepted a full time role and hoping with flexible working/ remote working it will be manageable. Failing that I have plenty of parental leave available to me/annual leave.

I have just received my start date, took a while, but hey at least its done. Good luck to all the rest of you! Hope you all get something out of this panel :)

Best of luck DEW138. Hope you enjoy your new role :)

It took me nearly 2months from EOI accepted and start date. Just received the contract now :) i am in the same department so not really big change for me, just a certainty of permanent position 👍

Are there many EOIs coming through on National Panel for Wicklow county? I emailed admin HSE. They said they have to clear national panel first. I'm on the supplementary panel. So, I'm hoping there are more jobs in Wicklow than people who applied for Wicklow. I know I'm on the supplementary panel and have to wait my turn, but at the same time, it would be great to see something in the inbox indicating that something might happen in the next few weeks.

Thanks Caoimhe2. Maybe if I'd been aware I'd have been better applying for national panel and waiting for jobs in Wicklow to come up 🤔. Wonder are there supplementary panels for other counties and why there seem to be multiple panels.

Thanks Caoimhe2.

Hi Lisaod. I can't remember exactly what the questions they asked were, but I think there are hints in the documents they send beforehand. They are standard structured interviews where you give examples of how you meet certain criteria. I am aware that I'm not explaining myself well! They look for examples of how you deal with communication, customer service and so on. So, if you can think of a time when you saved the day by communicating to your team/colleagues or give an example of how you handled a dissatisfied customer and so on. If you are doing the interview online, you can stick post-its on around the monitor to give you hints at the examples you plan to give as the questions come up. Not sure if this helps, but wish you the best of luck with it. Main thing is, don't panic. I had a panel of three interviewers and they were all polite and explained themselves well in terms of how the interview was going to go and who would ask what questions.

I’m on Dublin supplementary panel and got the same EOI I’m pretty sure. Was it for an Eating disorder service? Are we all on a national panel then?

Right, here's a completely dumb question... I got three EOIs today for unsuitable jobs. Does this mean the damn has been unblocked and I should get a few more coming through the pipeline or does it then go quiet for weeks on end? I know this is a how long is a piece of string type question!

I have a family member working in the hse and they said it depends on when people put job orders in. The panel I’m on had lots of EOIS two weeks ago but nothing much since.

Hi all. I just accepted a Grade IV position I am currently on point 2 of the grade 3 clerical salary does anyone know will i start on point 1 of the grade IV salary

You go to the nearest point on the grade iv scale (euro wise) plus 1 if that makes sense. So more than likely point 2 on the Grade IV scale. Your increment date will change to the date you start the position
