NRS12255 Clerical Officer Grade III HSE

Hey all I placed top 20 in my chosen area for supplementary panel. Have sent in EOI for a few posts now but so far no invitation to progress. How likely am I to get anywhere? Is it because the main panel are taking the posts or I'm just not high enough. The waiting to hear back and getting nothing is so frustrating.

Thanks so much. And congratulations to you. I won't give up hope just yet so.

While you are on the SPC you will still receive permanent job offers from the panel so you can accept a job offer.. then when your spc contract is up u start your permanent position

FORSA union has just informed members of the HSE “temporary pause” on all clerical/admin grade 3 to grade 8 unless the post is specifically approved by the National HR Director. This means no new jobs or promotions within the HSE for an undetermined period of time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Thanks so much for this

Hi All, I have accepted a job in my area and am now at pre clearance stage. I am in my current job less than 6 months. HSE recruit are insisting I give my current employer as a reference and are quite insistent. Is there any way around this as I do not feel comfortable essentially telling my employer I intend to leave without a start date or a solid job offer. Has anybody been in this position and what was the outcome.

Wife, who works in HSE got email from her forsa union branch

Extended to Grade 3 and above unfortunately: https://www.forsa.ie/faqs-protect-clerical-jobs-stop-outsourcing-ballot/

"On 24th July management escalated and put in place a FULL RECRUITMENT PAUSE from Grade III and above. They have stated this was due to their concerns over the number of clerical admin / managerial grades recruited in the last six months."

Well that's utterly depressing.

I know right, i got an eoi on Monday and i know i am on top of the list, and its silence.. probably due to this, ah.

It’s tough on anyone close to the top of their respective panels. Wife told me that if the positions to be filled are deemed “crucial” then it will be filled and that if it’s a retirement replacement it will be filled so some hope at least. All new appointments must be approved by the national HR director apparently. The gist that FORSA are saying is that there will be no increase in overall clerical/admin numbers. She also said that use of agency workers is to be curtailed also.

Hopefully still going through. My garda vetting came through 22 july but have heard nothing since. I was speaking to 2 others going through the process & 1 girl got an email today, so still seems to be going ahead.

On the email it said could be up to 3 weeks after garda vetting.

On the final stage email from recruit screening. It said it could take up to 3 weeks for contracting team to contact. Very long process.

Hi can I ask how long have You been waiting? I got an email to say I have been accepted last week. Today I had to fill out the PPHA and I sent it back by email. Have not had anything from the recruitment email just an email from Admin to say that I would receive an email from recruitment. Should I get Garda vetted myself or do they arrange this? On the form today for stsrt date it just said ASAP. What should I expect next? Thank You
