Household and Catering Assistant
The Office of Public Works (OPW) invites applications for the position of Household and Catering Assistant at a State Venue in Dublin. The positions are Non Established State Industrial posts based on a 39 hour week (full time), five days per week rostered over 7 days and the appointment will be subject to a probationary period of 7 months which may be extended to 10 months under certain circumstances. Continuation in employment in the post, following the end of the probation period, will be dependent upon the appointee fully meeting the requirements of the position during the probation period. This is an Open OPW recruitment competition to which applicants with the minimum eligibility requirements may apply. Persons who wish to be considered for appointment to the above position should submit a completed application form, and copies of specified required documentation. A short listing assessment, based on the information supplied in the applications, may be used by OPW to select those applicants who are to be invited to attend for competitive interview. Selection for appointment to the position will be determined by the Interview Board through a competitive interview process with each candidate who is invited to the interview and a reserve panel, effective for a limited period, may be formed. Any offer of a position will be subject to the candidate satisfactorily meeting the OPW’s requirements with regard to references, health and Garda vetting. In the event that the candidate does not satisfactorily meet the OPW’s requirements in these regards, the candidate will receive no further consideration under the competition and will not proceed to appointment. Following the interview selection process, a panel may be established to fill any future sanctioned permanent, fixed term or part time positions that may arise at the State Venue(s) for the duration of the panel which will remain in effect for a limited period of time. Placement on the panel does not guarantee nor imply that an offer of employment will be made to those placed on same. In the event that an offer of an appointment is made, it will be made in the order of merit of those on the panel. The following process will apply in relation to offers: Candidates may refuse any offers of Fixed Term or Permanent positions as Household and Catering Assistant for any of the sites offered only once, and one form of contract (whether Fixed Term or Permanent) only once each. If a candidate refuses either of the above options, no further offer will be made for that specific form of contract in a specific location. Candidates should note that if they are offered a permanent post at any of the sites and they then accept that post, they will no longer be considered for any other location for the duration of this panel. If they are offered and refuse a permanent post in any of the sites, they will be removed from the panel for that specific site, but will remain on the panel(s) for any future posts that may arise in any of the other sites for which this competition recruits. For example: Candidate Z indicates a preference for (a) Site A (b) Site B. Candidate Z is offered a Fixed Term post at Site A. Candidate Z refuses this offer, so he or she will not be offered a Fixed Term post at Site A. However, Candidate Z will remain on the panel to be offered a permanent post at Site A. Candidate Z will also remain on the panel for either fixed term or permanent post at Site B and the same process will be conducted. If Candidate Z turns down each job offer in turn, he or she will slowly reduce their options and eventually not be offered either a Fixed Term or a Permanent post at either Site A or Site B for the duration of this panel. When a panel is expired, all offers will cease for this competition.
