In addition, they will also be required to demonstrate the skills and competencies set out in the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) competency framework at Level 2 for the purposes of personal and professional development. What is the NICS competency framework? The competency framework sets out how all NICS employees should work. It puts the Civil Service values of integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality at the heart of everything they do and it aligns to the three high-level leadership behaviours that every civil servant needs to model as appropriate to their role and level of responsibility: Setting Direction; Engaging People and Delivering Results. Competencies are the skills, knowledge and behaviours that lead to successful performance. The framework outlines ten competencies, which are grouped into three clusters as stated above (Setting Direction, Engaging People and Delivering Results): The competencies are intended to be discrete and cumulative, with each level building on the levels below i.e., a person demonstrating a competency at level 3 should be demonstrating levels 1 and 2 as a matter of course. The Receptionist post is analogous to Admin Officer in the NICS. CORE COMPETENCIES The Core Competence Framework, which is grade specific, describes what people need to do in order to be effective at work. It is not enough to just have the knowledge and skills to do our jobs. Competence is about what people actually do, it is about how you apply or demonstrate the knowledge and skills whilst carrying out your tasks. Demonstrated competence is observable and measurable. COMPETENCY BASED INTERVIEWS Selection panels will design questions to test the applicant’s knowledge and experience in each of the above areas and award marks accordingly. INTERVIEWS It is intended that interviews for this post will take place in Belfast from week commencing week beginning 14th October 2024. INTERVIEW GUIDANCE FOR APPLICANTS If this is your first experience of a competence-based interview, bear in mind that it does not require to you: • Talk through previous jobs or appointments from start to finish, • Provide generalised information as to your background and experience: or • Provide information that is not specifically relevant to the competence the question is designed to test A competence-based interview does however require you to: • Focus exclusively, in your responses, on your ability to fulfil the competences required for effective performance in the role: and • Provide specific examples of your experience in relation to the required competence areas. In preparation for the interview, you may wish to think about having a clear structure for each of your examples, such as: • Situation – briefly outline the situation; • Task – what was your objective, what were you trying to achieve; • Action – what did you actually do, what was your unique contribution; • Result – what happened, what was the outcome, what did you learn. The panel will ask you to provide specific examples from your last experience in relation to each of the competences. You should therefore come to the interview prepared to discuss in detail a range of examples which best illustrate your skills and abilities in each competence area. You may draw examples from any area of your work / life experiences.
