BACKGROUND Dublin is an international capital city and is the economic engine of the region and the State. Dublin City Council has a unique and critical role in local government: it is the largest local authority in Ireland, with 63 Elected Members representing and serving 588,000 people in the city area. It plays a pivotal role in the provision of services to the almost 1.5 million people in the Dublin Region, and in ensuring that the city can welcome and support a large number of visitors daily for employment, business, recreation, and tourism. Dublin City Council takes the lead role in shaping the strategic vision of Dublin as a dynamic and sustainable city and seeks to continually enhance the city’s attractiveness as a place in which to invest, to work, to live, and to visit. With an annual expenditure of almost €1.8 billion (revenue and capital) and a workforce of 6,200 (FTEs), the City Council provides a diverse, multi-layered, and evolving range of services and infrastructure to both citizens and visitors to Dublin that sustain the life of the city. These services include the provision of housing, planning, development, economic, environmental, roads and traffic, fire and emergency, leisure, cultural, and community services. Many of these services, including traffic, drainage, and fire and emergency services, are provided on a regional basis for the Greater Dublin Area. The continuing development and renewal of the city’s infrastructure, urban fabric, and facilities, in conjunction with other public authorities, is a key feature of the Council’s role and an essential support to the national economy. The Council has a critical role in supporting the economic growth and development of the city, its cultural and recreational life, and makes a major investment in social inclusion and community development through a wide range of housing, community, and area-based services. The Council is increasingly exploring new and innovative ways to tackle city challenges, particularly as they relate to climate and sustainability, and to deliver services while meeting citizens’ changing expectations, achieving efficiencies, and continuing to meet the demand for increased accountability. THE JOB The Access Officer is a key strategic role within Dublin City Council, responsible for advancing accessibility, inclusion, and equality across all Council services and public-facing activities.

BACKGROUND Healthy Cities and Counties Programme The Healthy Cities and Counties Programme is a Department of Health funded initiative delivered through local government. Its focus is on promoting lifelong wellbeing, preventing illness, creating supportive environments for health, and reducing health inequities. The programme emphasises the important role local authorities play in improving community wellbeing outcomes. The programme supports a whole-of-local-government approach. It demonstrates how co-ordinated action across the wider determinants of health – such as housing, environment, transport, and community services – can improve wellbeing and contribute to broader development and policy objectives. Aligning health and wellbeing activity with other local government initiatives that share similar goals strengthens collaboration and ensures a more coherent approach to community wellbeing. The programme operates within the Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) structure, giving it a strong governance foundation and enabling it to support the high-level goals set out in Local Economic and Community Plans. Each of the 31 Local Authorities has a dedicated Healthy Cities/Counties Co-ordinator (Administrative Officer grade) responsible for delivering the programme locally. A Healthy Ireland Fund, provided by the Department of Health, is allocated to each Local Authority to support targeted wellbeing initiatives. The Co-ordinator manages and administers this fund as part of their overall work programme. The primary role of the Healthy City Co-ordinator is collaborative. It involves building networks, supporting the implementation of key wellbeing objectives across local government, identifying partnership opportunities at local, regional, and national levels, and influencing resource allocation towards wellbeing-focused projects. The role also includes seeking opportunities from a European perspective, informed by the WHO European Healthy Cities Network and relevant EU programme activity.

Behavioural Expectations The way that HIQA people are expected to work to role model HIQA values: The incumbent of this role is expected to demonstrate HIQA’s values in the delivery of everyday work and interactions with clients and colleagues, by putting people first, being fair and objective, being open and accountable, demonstrating excellence and innovation, and working together. Common Tasks Team Member Principal Conditions of Service Probation A probationary period of six months applies to this position. Pay Candidates will be appointed on the minimum point of the salary scale (€59,435) and in accordance with the Department of Finance guidelines. The rate of remuneration will not be subject to negotiation. The incremental progression for this scale is in line with Government pay policy. The salary scale for this position is as follows: Higher Executive Officer (PPC) €59,435 €61,173 €62,908 €64,640 €66,380 €68,111 €69,849 €72,353 €75,788 After 3 years’ satisfactory service at the maximum After 6 years’ satisfactory service at the maximum Entry will be at the first point of the scale. An exception may occur where an appointee has been serving elsewhere in the public service in an analogous grade and pay scale. In this case, the appointment may be assimilated to the nearest point of the advertised salary scale with their incremental date adjusted accordingly. Please note the rate of remuneration may be adjusted from time to time in line with Government pay policy. Superannuation Pensionable public servants, new joiners recruited on or after 1 January 2013, will be members of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme. Please note that the Single Public Service Pension Scheme applies to all pensionable first time entrants to the public service, as well as to former public servants returning to the public service after a break of more than 26 weeks. In certain circumstances, for example where the public servant was on secondment or approved leave or remains on the same contract of employment, the 26 week rule does not apply. The legislation giving effect to the Scheme is the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. For those who are not subject to the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, for example those transferring from other public service employment where the break in service, if any, is less than 26 weeks, the terms of the Health Information and Quality Authority Superannuation Scheme will apply. Annual Leave Annual leave is 29 days per annum, rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service. Hours of Attendance Hours of attendance will be fixed from time to time but will amount to not less than 35 per week. The appointee may be required to work additional hours from time to time as may be reasonable and necessary for the proper performance of his or her duties, subject to the limits set down under working time regulations. Blended Working Arrangements HIQA has introduced blended working to offer more flexible working arrangements to all employees. We aim to strike a balance between being flexible, efficient and resilient by facilitating blended working where practical, while enabling onsite interaction, collaboration and support as required. All roles in HIQA have been assessed under the criteria of business needs and role suitability for blended working. This determined the proportion of time that employees will spend working in HIQA offices and working from home, depending on their role. Depending on the role, there may be a requirement to attend the office for more than the allocated number of days for training and onboarding purposes at the start of your employment and during the probation period. A review of the blended working model confirmed that this model is working well in HIQA. Therefore, HIQA is now moving from Interim Blended Working to a long term Blended Working Model. Existing policy and documentation will be revised and updated once the framework for the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act is published. The model is in line with the Civil Service Framework for Blended Working in Ireland. Further guidance on HIQA’s Blended Working Policy, which includes eligibility criteria, will be issued to successful candidates. This is an opt in policy and details on how to apply will be issued before commencement.
