Ah, checked the email again, they are currently processing the application forms for Dispatcher and CDO, they had sent me an email a couple of weeks back saying my application for Dispatcher hadnt uploaded properly, I tried sending it again, never heard anything about it at all, so assumed I had failed shortlisting for it also.

Though tbh if I have failed shortlisting for CH I cant see passing the other as it was nearly the exact same information I had used.

Ditto.

Banterbus28 · 20-01-2018 10:35pm

Ah guys they were graded differently, I didn't apply for CH so didn't think to mention that you'd need to up your answers so to speak for Dispatcher.

Sorry guys, maybe they chinned you for CH because you're more suited to Dispatcher...

I wonder how fast they will get the ball rolling now. I only applied for the call handler job. If the process takes too long they could find the new staff getting offered a place in GV soon after starting which is quite possible.

Lou Lou 73 · 21-01-2018 9:59pm

hi guys, wish I had found this weeks ago. Would have saved me many sleepless nights wondering if they received my application ok. I also got an email on Friday saying I had passed the shortlisting page. Anyone any ideas about what's next?

Banterbus28 · 21-01-2018 10:45pm

Not sure about process for CDO and call handlers as everyone I know in those jobs was Noonan.

However as Dispatchers is pitched at EO2 grade and as such has civil service terms and conditions I imagine it will be

Shortlisting

Aptitude test

Competency based interviews

Notification of suitability for appointment

Vetting and substance misuse test

Offer of appointment

Just spoke to recruitment.

Dispatcher emails have not went out. They were adamant that only CDO and CH emails had went out.

Did anybody else get a CDO email? I never

I received CH reject email. Nothing about CDO.

Banterbus28 · 22-01-2018 11:42am

Woman must have been mistaken about CDO then but she'll be the one that will be hitting send on the Dispatcher emails so they definately haven't went out.

Banterbus28 · 22-01-2018 11:56am

Kinda kicking myself I didn't apply for CDO after chatting to a mate the pay hot could have been taken as they are guaranteed overtime inside their normal shift pattern due to civil service terms and conditions reference working weekends.

PSP training sounds fun as well

Banterbus28 · 22-01-2018 12:02pm

4 on 4 off, when you include your leave that's working for only 5 months of the year

And all the overtine you could ask for

Your making this sound so appealing.

Banterbus28 · 22-01-2018 12:19pm

My mates that do it love the job, only the usual bitching

stm1 · 22-01-2018 12:51pm

Any ideas on numbers required...particularly the call handler job? Or anticipated start date?

Banterbus28 · 22-01-2018 1:04pm

All custody is being centralised, I. E. Central locations for wider areas.

Ards and North Down's custody is Musgrave and from what my mates tell me there are several "supersuites" like Musgrave being constructed and as such it is reasonable to assume that this recruitment drive is directly connected.

Drop them an FOI but as it's public sector recruitment could be 3 months could be 10... No one knows.

Yea there is also talk of a new regional HQ being built on the old St. Patrick's army barracks up in Ballymena. Heard they could be building a supersuit there to serve mid & east Antrim and Antrim & Newtownabbey districts.

FinalTry32 · 23-01-2018 12:38pm

Theres always overtime going in Call Handling too,

In relation to the positions available, I reckon there will be quite a few positions available as alot who are currently doing the role are now waiting to do the dispatch course.

Banterbus28 · 23-01-2018 1:35pm

Aye they mentioned on the phone that dispatcher courses will be fed by both I ternary and external candidates.

Banterbus28 · 23-01-2018 1:35pm

Internal*

Blondamundo · 23-01-2018 2:20pm

To those who have phoned re: the dispatcher emails- have they given any indication as to when we'll hear?

Oh and hi everyone. Best of luck to you all!

Banterbus28 · 23-01-2018 3:31pm

Just said once they are sorted we will know.

Banterbus28 · 23-01-2018 3:32pm

As more information feeds through, the call handler vacancies must be their main effort

stm1 · 23-01-2018 4:13pm

Happy days. Fingers crossed we hear something soon re the next stage.

Blondamundo · 26-01-2018 1:20pm

Looks like nothing for dispatcher roles this week either - have a good weekend everyone - maybe next week will bring news in some shape or form

Banterbus28 · 26-01-2018 2:01pm

It's only 1 o'clock

Blondamundo · 26-01-2018 2:30pm

I’m starting to think I haven’t applied properly... were you supposed to email applications to the equality unit?

Blondamundo · 30-01-2018 12:39pm

Yes. You were. Expect a wait of another 2-3 weeks if it was the dispatcher job.

Banterbus28 · 30-01-2018 12:43pm

Has there been movement for CDO?

Im only in for dispatcher so can't answer you there,

stm1 · 02-02-2018 9:22am

2 weeks today since call handlers were told they had been successful at shortlisting. Would love to hear something today about the next stages.

Blondamundo · 02-02-2018 9:43am

I called at the start of this week ref: dispatcher, they were v helpful confirmed receipt of my application but said due to 3 posts being advertised and sheer volume of responses that I should allow another 2 - 3 weeks to hear about shortlist.
Hope this helps.

They will likely be running the online testing for all roles at the same time for easiness of adnin so I wouldn't hold your breath.
