Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, recruitment to the Civil Service is regulated by the Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act 2004. The Act established the Public Appointments Service (PAS) as the centralised recruitment body for the Civil and Public Service.

  I have been informed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS) that the information sought by the Deputy is as follows:

Permanent Clerical Officer Nationwide Campaign

This campaign was advertised in June 2014.  To date 1,189 assignments have been made to Civil Service posts.

Vacancies will continue to be filled off this panel until a new panel is in place.  It is planned to advertise a new Clerical Officer campaign in Q2 2016.

There are currently 246 vacancies to be filled across the Civil Service.

Temporary Clerical Officer (TCO) Campaigns

TCO 2015 Campaign 2,099 candidates have been assigned to date to temporary positions from this campaign. This is for both civil and public service.

TCO 2016 Campaign the first round of interviews are due to be held on Saturday 9 April 2016 the results of which are expected to issue by 14 May 2016.  At that point the TCO 2015 panel will close and the TCO 2016 panel will become active.
