Civil Servcie mobility scheme

Does anyone know if time spent acting counts towards your 2 years?

I was in an acting EO position last year and now substantive (probation).

Does the 2 years start from when I was in the acting position or from this year when been made substantive?

Thanks

Shift work in stations as far as I know. Normal days and hours in other Garda civilian workplaces. Have you been offered a position and if so what grade are you?

I was just debating whether to take it off hold. I think i'll leave it. I dont want to do shift.

Just joining this thread - I applied for HEO list based mobility when applications originally opened. I'm currently in a Dublin based Department which I'm eager to move on from.

I've applied to move to one of four other Dublin based Departments and I have been finding it very slow - as in I'm only moving up a handful of places in three of those Departments since mobility opened. However, in one Dublin based Department, there does seem to be some consistent movement with me having moved up approx. 6 places over the last 2 and a half/3 months, so I'm into the top 10.

One other HEO in my division tells me she applied for Departments in Kildare and Laois, and advises me she is finding it very slow, and can't see herself moving out of Dublin for the foreseeable future.

It starts from your Hire or Promotion date, so the probationary period is included in the 2 years.

If you were in receipt of Acting-Up / Higher Duties though, that wouldn't be included i.e. if you were a CO acting up to EO for a year, and then got fully promoted to EO you'd have to do 2 years as an EO after the promotion.

It's not shift work unless you specifically applied for a role that was advertised as shift work. It's Mon to Fri otherwise.

Overnight from 31st January into yesterday, I moved up 1 spot in one Dublin based Department, and 2 spots in another (HEO mobility). I didn't move on the other two places I've applied to. Whether that is due to people just not confirming their interest, or due to people being offered positions is anybody's guess.

I’d have thought that update would be automatic?

I wonder if it has happened now? I seem to have moved up 3 places.

Quick question....can a manager refuse a mobility request?

The 1 spot that I moved up, reverted the next day unfortunately. The person in front of me must have left it till the last minute the confirm their interest and then it took a day or 2 to update.

I have spoken with Peoplepoint and they have confirmed that the "computer update" has taken place and all positions that we see now is final.

In that light I have cancelled 1 of my applications where I was far enough down the list with little HEO's in that section and have applied for DSP. I am hesitant re DSP, as I am from the town and don't think it's a great idea to be working in the town you're from in that department, but oh well, I cannot cope with the thought of going back to my old office.

I'm an EO outside of Dublin and I'm eager move for a change but also better promotion opportunities. EO roles within my zone are sparse. Would it be foolish to apply for mobility in Dublin and hope to be offered a hybrid working model? One or two days in Dublin and the remainder at home.

With all the promotions in recent times, how are there not more positions available based on mobility?

Memo went out from NSSO regarding retirements in Q2. They're obviously expecting an exodus
