The holder of this position is an established civil servant. It is a condition of service that all officers over age 16 on becoming established Civil Servants are automatically included in the Non-Contributory Civil Service Main Superannuation Scheme and the associated Spouses and Children’s Contributory Pension Scheme for established Civil Servants.
