We are a robust and trusted institution, which has served the people of Ireland since the foundation of the State. While the challenges which face the Civil Service today are different to those faced at the foundation of the State, our core values remain the same. The Civil Service is a large complex organisation employing over 50,000 people in approximately 40 Government Departments and offices and a range of other bodies. Every day the Civil Service makes a vital contribution to Irish life. Everything the Civil Service does, from carrying out the work of Government to delivering frontline public services, impacts Ireland in some way. The Role The Administrative Officer (AO) is the main graduate recruitment grade for the Civil Service and provides successful candidates with the opportunity to progress to middle management. As an AO, you would have a crucial role in policy and strategy formulation across the spectrum of economic, financial, international, environmental and social issues. Those appointed will have the opportunity to effect real change in the Civil Service and help shape a changing Ireland. You will also have the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the development and implementation of government policy over a period of time. As the business, economic and social environment becomes more complex and demanding, there is an increasing need to ensure that a wider range of skills is available within Government Departments and Offices. publicjobs is looking for people with the potential to take on high level responsibilities in the management of public services and the analysis of public policy issues, and who possess particular qualifications, skills and capability in the following areas: 1: Energy, Environment and Climate 2: Finance Policy 3: Health Policy Analyst 4: Human Resources To apply, candidates must satisfy the essential entry requirements specific to the specialist role for which they are applying. Please see page 5 for further details. In addition to having achieved the essential entry requirements, effective AO candidates must demonstrate: • Excellent communication (oral and written), presentation and interpersonal skills • The ability to carry out research, analysis and problem solving • Experience of effective team-working and the capacity to work in a multidisciplinary environment • The ability to develop leadership capability and lead in your area of expertise • The ability to show initiative while working with minimal supervision • Evidence of working on projects and producing results within budget and specified deadlines. • Evidence of meeting the requirements set out in the Administrative Officer Capability Framework It is expected that from the outset, newly recruited AOs will be able to make a substantive contribution to the work of the Civil Service. While training is to a significant extent “on the job”, induction and training courses in specific skills and areas of work will be provided to assist you to become familiar with the public sector. Those appointed will have the opportunity to undertake the Graduate Development Programme which will build upon your experience to further develop your expertise, confidence, self-awareness and personal effectiveness to enable you to realise your potential and deliver important outcomes early in your career. It is envisaged that these graduate recruitment opportunities will arise across a range of Departments. Selection for the position of AO involves a structured assessment process that may take place over a period of time. publicjobs will keep applicants informed as they progress through the selection process. Relevant information on each subsequent stage of the selection process will be provided in advance to those candidates who are invited to progress, to ensure they are equipped to perform to the best of their ability. Vacancies Candidates who are successful in this competition, will be placed on a panel, in order of merit to fill current and future vacancies which may arise. As vacancies arise in Government Departments / Offices, in an ‘agency’ of a Government Department or in Garda civilian positions in An Garda Síochána, successful candidates will be drawn from the panel in rank order, according to their performance score at the final stage. The majority of vacancies that arise for this competition will be based in Dublin, however a small number may also arise in other regional locations throughout the lifetime of the competition. Successful candidates must be willing to accept a position in Dublin. If you are offered a position (whether you accept or not) you will, in the normal course, no longer be considered for any other vacancy in this competition. In the unlikely event that a vacancy in a regional location arises, candidates will be contacted to establish their interest in such a vacancy. It is not expected that appointments will be made from these panels after January 2028.

These may include one or more of the following: • Completion of an online Assessment Questionnaire • Online and/or paper-based assessment test(s) • Shortlisting of candidates on the basis of the information contained in their application against set criteria based on the requirements of the position • An online video interview • Competitive Interview(s) • Presentation/Analysis exercise • Work sample test • Any other tests or exercises that may be deemed appropriate, including language proficiency tests publicjobs has the discretion to add, remove or amend selection stages and assessments, at any point, as necessary. Applicants must successfully complete each stage of the selection process, in order to be considered for advancement to the next stage of the multistage selection process. The number of candidates to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by publicjobs. Please note: If publicjobs is not notified of any issues you experience in advance of or on the day of your assessments/interview, we will not be in a position to address these after the fact. Stage 1: Online Assessment The initial stage of the selection process will be an online assessment. Online assessments may be taken in a venue of your choice, wherever you have access to a computer and a reliable internet connection. It is important to note that taking these assessments within a secure IT network e.g. a network such as your work or college which may have firewalls or other security technology in place may cause you technical difficulties. You should ensure that you can complete the assessments in a quiet environment where you can concentrate without being disturbed for the duration of the assessments. It is advised to take the assessments on a device that you are familiar with. Candidates invited to complete the online assessment(s) will be sent a familiarisation booklet, with more information and preparation guidelines. It is important to note that the email address you provide when applying must be one that you can access at all times. Candidates will be given specific time windows in which to complete the assessments. A link(s) to the actual online assessments will be sent to candidates’ portals on publicjobs.ie in advance of the test-taking window. Candidates who have not completed all of the online assessments before the deadline will be deemed to be no longer interested in this competition and their application will receive no further consideration. Your attention is drawn to Appendix 2 ‘Important Information’. If invited to progress through the selection process, a candidate may be required to sit tests in a supervised environment. publicjobs has no function or involvement in the provision of, and does not endorse, any preparation courses relating to the selection process. Stage 2: Interview & Exercise Stage 2 of the selection process requires you to complete a Capability-Based Interview and a Practical Exercise. Further details, including familiarisation material and preparation guidelines, will be provided in advance of this stage, for those invited to progress. Shortlisting The number of applications received for a position generally exceeds that required to fill existing and future vacancies. While a candidate may meet the eligibility requirements of the competition, if the numbers applying are such that it would not be practical to interview everyone, publicjobs may decide that a smaller number will be invited to the next stage of the selection process. publicjobs provide for the employment of a shortlisting process to select a group who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be the most suitable for the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily unsuitable or incapable of undertaking the job, rather that there are some candidates, who based on their application, appear to be better qualified and/or have more relevant experience. During shortlisting, an expert board will examine the application forms against agreed shortlisting criteria which are based on the requirements of the position. The standard of content of each application submitted may also be assessed during this process. The shortlisting criteria may include both essential and desirable criteria specified for the position and, it is therefore in your own interest to provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications/experience in your application. The onus is on candidates to complete the application form fully and accurately. In the case of competitions that may involve large numbers of candidates, candidates may be ranked on the outcome of their online assessment tests and will be shortlisted in accordance with their ranking. Applicants must successfully compete and be placed highest, to be considered for advancement to the next stage of the multistage selection process. The number to be invited forward at each stage will be determined from time to time by publicjobs. Next Steps Should you come under consideration to proceed to subsequent stages of the selection process, further information will be forwarded to you at the appropriate time.
