The Deputy will be aware that the Civil Service Mobility scheme is one of a number of arrangements to be put in place to fulfil the requirements of Action 15 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan which calls to ‘Expand career and mobility opportunities for staff across geographic, organisational and sectorial boundaries’.
The scheme will generate an open, fair, transparent and practical system that facilitates effective mobility of staff across the Civil Service in pursuit of development opportunities and relocation while also supporting the needs of the business.
The Mobility scheme is being developed for the Civil Service on a phased basis:
- Phase 1A will be for the general Civil Service grades of CO and EO for mobility between zones (all 46 zones) and within zones (excluding Zone 46 – Dublin). Anticipated launch Q4-2017.
- Phase 1B will be for the general Civil Service grades of CO and EO for mobility within the zone of Dublin. Anticipated launch mid-2018.
- Phase 2 will be for the general Civil Service grades of HEO, AO and AP. Anticipated launch late-2018.
Equivalent Professional and Technical grades are not covered under early phases of the scheme and consideration will be given to mobility for these grades at a later date.
An element of Phase 1A of the Civil Service Mobility scheme was successfully piloted in Wexford Town and Cork City for the general Civil Service grades of CO, SO and EO in February this year for a 3-month period. This phase has now been extended to include all locations and, following the learning from the Pilot, will be launched in the coming weeks.
Details of applications from the Pilot of Phase 1A are attached for your information.
