Recruitment Selection will be by means of a competition based on an interview conducted by or on behalf of SDCC. We conduct interviews face to face or online through Microsoft Teams and this will be decided by SDCC. SDCC will not be responsible for any expenses a candidate may incur in attending for interview. Applicants must have a good standard of written and spoken English to effectively carry out the duties of the role. Applicants should be prepared for interview any time after the closing date. A candidate who does not attend for interview when and where required by the Council will have no further claim to consideration. Interview results will be available on our website www.sdcc.ie Rolling Recruitment Only applications received electronically through the Council’s eRecruitment system will be accepted. South Dublin County Council applies rolling recruitment to fill some critical posts. The nature of rolling recruitment is that there is no closing date. This allows us to capture as many applicants as possible to fill these posts on an ongoing basis. Competitions which are subject to rolling recruitment will close temporarily at short notice once a sufficient number of applications have been received. Shortlisted applicants will be brought forward for interview to fill existing vacancies, and the competition will be reopened to new applications when required. Competitions that operate on a rolling basis will be clearly indicated in the advertisement. It is in your best interest, therefore, to submit your application as soon as possible. Shortlisting SDCC reserves its right to shortlist applications. Shortlisting may include desktop shortlisting and/or preliminary interviews. Shortlisting will be on the basis of information supplied on the application form and the likely number of vacancies to be filled. For this reason, you should provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications and experience on the application form and ensure you fully complete the competency questions where applicable. When providing examples to demonstrate your ability under a particular competency, you should ensure the example is appropriate in scale and scope for the requirements of the position you are applying for. Panels A panel may be formed on the basis of such interviews. The life of the panel will be for a period of one year from the date of its formation. Candidates whose names are on a panel and who satisfy the Council that they possess the qualifications declared for the post and that they are otherwise suitable for appointment may, within the life of the panel, be appointed as appropriate vacancies arise. Acceptance of Offer SDCC will require persons to whom appointments are offered to take up such appointments within a reasonable period as determined by SDCC. If they fail to take up appointment within such period or such longer period as the Council in its absolute discretion may determine, the Council will not appoint them. Pre-Employment Checks For the purpose of satisfying the requirement as to health, it will be necessary for successful candidates to undergo a medical examination by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by SDCC. Appointment will not proceed without SDCC obtaining two satisfactory references from responsible persons known to but not related to the candidate. A responsible person should be a person under whom the candidate has served in employment, or in the case of relevant voluntary work, a person who has held a supervisory position. At least one of the references must be from a current employer. Garda Vetting will be sought prior to appointment in accordance with the National Vetting Bureau Act 2012 – 2016. A candidate who is found to be ineligible at any stage of the competition will not be further considered. Provision of inaccurate, untrue or misleading information will lead to disqualification from the competition, withdrawal of employment or dismissal.
