Staff Nurse, Health Protection / Public
The HSE’s Public Health Service protects and promotes the health of the Irish population, contributes effectively to major service design and policy implementation, strives to address health inequalities, and ensures a population needs based approach to integrated healthcare delivery. The Public Health Service has embarked on a programme of strategic structural reform to implement a new, consultant-delivered service delivery model aligned to international best practice and to address the recommendations of the Crowe Horwath Report. The enhanced service delivery model introduces a strong Public Health Function strategically aligned within the HSE and to healthcare delivery structures. The model radically changes the governance and operating structure within Public Health, introducing a more fit-for-purpose national and area management structure, with strong clinical leadership across each of the domains of Public Health practice. The model seeks to rebalance capacity to deliver effectively across all four domains of public health: Health Protection, Health Intelligence, Health Service Improvement and Health Improvement. The model for public health is a ‘hub and spoke’ model, where the national role (the hub) coordinates, sets standards and policies, provides leadership, and centralises critical expertise. The area role (the spokes), input to the national function, respond to service delivery needs, retain local expertise, identify, and implement improvement initiatives, and support integration. This new service model seeks to optimise the contribution of Public Health expertise to deliver greater impact across an expanded remit of service provision. Aligned to this reform, six new Public Health Areas have been established in line with the Sláintecare HSE health regions (Regional Health Areas). Each Public Health area is led by an Area Director of Public Health who with the authority, autonomy and responsibility assigned by the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) statutory function, play a key strategic and leadership role in protecting the population from threats to health, while also promoting health within their area of accountability. Consultants in Public Health Medicine (CPHM) lead multidisciplinary teams, for example: Surveillance Scientists/Epidemiologists, Senior Medical Officers, Nurses, Research and Information staff, Administrative and Communication staff; and delivers services across the four domains of public health. Departments of Public Health apply infectious disease epidemiology and knowledge of the demographic and socio-economic profiles of the populations they service to provide statutory public health functions including: expertise, advice and support, to internal (National, Hospital, pre-hospital and Community Services) and external partners (e.g. Environmental Protection Agency, Irish Water, Port Authorities Local Authorities etc.). The Departments also provide advice to the general public, and a range of local partners, organisations and services within their regional areas. Public Health works across the four domains: health protection, health service improvement, health improvement and health intelligence, (hereafter referred as public health domains), and aims to prevent disease and improve health-related outcomes through the design, utilisation and evaluation of effective and efficient healthcare interventions including review of access and pathways of care. Such work will include population health needs assessment, population focused health service prioritisation, health service co-design/redesign (i.e. Models of Care), and health service implementation (including National Healthy Childhood Programme, Education & Training, Monitoring and Evaluation). Public Health Programmes will be organised to support Integrated Care Programmes for population cohorts and priority populations. Public Health provides a nationally integrated, all-hazards Health Protection service, mandated by the MOH legislation. Specifically, the health protection area teams work across Infectious Diseases, Environment and Health, and Emergency Preparedness and Response to provide a safe, effective, and agile service. Area Directors of Public Health, Consultants and Specialists in PH have the responsibility and authority to investigate and control notifiable infectious diseases and outbreaks under the MOH legislation. The National Healthy Childhood Programme (NHCP) is the HSE’s universal Child Health programme designed to improve the health and wellbeing of all babies, infants and children in the State. The MOH has a legislated mandate to ‘supervise and be responsible’ for the delivery of this Programme through a wide range of health professionals. Initial appointments will be to health protection roles; however, the Staff Nurse-Health Protection/Public Health role will be expanded to services across all public health domains, i.e., health protection, health improvement, health services improvement, health intelligence based on service needs in the PH Area. The reform programme outlined for Public Health Medicine and/or the wider Health Service may impact on this role, and as structures change the job specification may be reviewed. With the implementation of Sláintecare reform programme and Regional Health Areas (RHA), the above is subject to change, in line with service reconfiguration. Purpose of the post The Staff Nurse Health Protection/Public Health plays an integral role in the delivery of the health protection service and other public health domains. They play a critical role in the surveillance, prevention, investigation, and control of communicable diseases, response to environment and health incidents and emergency planning and preparedness. The Staff Nurse Health Protection/Public Health will assess, plan, implement and evaluate care to the highest professional and ethical standards within the model of nursing care practiced in the relevant care setting. The staff nurse will provide holistic, person-centred care, promoting optimum independence and enhancing the quality of life for service users. The purpose of the Staff Nurse Health Protection/Public Health post is to: · Provide clinical and professional nursing care in health protection as a key member of a multidisciplinary team (MDT). · Contribute to an integrated approach to health protection and maintain collaborative working relationships with the wide variety of individuals and organisations involved with protection of the health of the population at a local, regional and national level. · Actively participate in disease surveillance, ensuring the prompt identification, investigation, reporting and control of notifiable infectious diseases. · Provide health protection and prevention advice and support, taking appropriate action regarding the care and treatment of individuals, groups or communities. · Provide advice to members of the public, health professionals and facilities requiring information about infectious diseases prevention and control. · Contribute to the development of major incident response plans and emergency planning. · Analyse and interpret data, information and evidence, including laboratory data, relevant to the service area ensuring an evidence-based approach to Health Protection service and disease management strategies. · Contribute to the development of evidence base in Health Protection service by actively engaging in audit and research. · Participate in the delivery of clinical services, such as administration of prophylaxis and vaccinations.

Specialist Inspector – Critical Entities Resilience
Location and Contract Details Location: Dublin, Cork, or Galway Tenure: Permanent Additionally, HIQA may create a panel for future permanent and fixed term vacancies that may arise. Blended Working: 1 – 2 days per week in the office, with the remainder of the working week spent working from home. Further information can be found below in the Principal Conditions of Service under Blended Working Arrangements. Salary: €74,701 (Engineer Grade II, Point 1) Closing Date: 5pm, Tuesday 3rd February 2026 Role Purpose The purpose of this role within the relevant business unit and for HIQA as a whole: In accordance with Government Policy, HIQA recently assumed new responsibilities through the transposition of the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive into Irish law. The legislation stemming from this Directive – SI 559 of 2024 – has expanded HIQA’s remit to become a new Competent Authority with responsibilities to risk assess the Irish health service and regulate those services determined to be critical under the legislation. This is a significant further expansion in HIQA’s responsibilities in the health sector driven by European legislation. The successful candidate will support the planning and delivery of activities required of the Directive, which include health sector risk assessment and identification of critical entities within the health service, aligned to nationally determined thresholds. Once entities are identified, monitoring of critical entities will then occur to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to safeguard operational resilience through business continuity and emergency planning. The Specialist Inspector role operates as a member of the team responsible for the regulation of designated critical entities. The role as advertised will carry out all regulatory activities in accordance with HIQA’s policies, processes and procedures to determine compliance with legislation and national standards, report publicly on findings and respond appropriately when service providers do not meet requirements. 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 TasksTeam Member Principal Conditions of ServiceProbation A probationary period of six months applies to this position. Pay Candidates will be appointed on the minimum point of the salary scale (€74,701) 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: Engineer Grade II (PPC) €74,701 €76,408 €78,110 €79,821 €81,527 €81,981 €83,662 €85,408 €88,250¹ €91,100² After three years’ satisfactory service at the maximum After six 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. 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 is less than 26 weeks, the terms of the Health Information and Quality Authority Superannuation Scheme will apply. Annual Leave Annual leave is 27 days per annum, rising to 30 days after five years’ service. Hours of Attendance Hours of attendance will be fixed from time to time but will amount to not less than 35 hours 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. The aim is 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 has 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 employment and during the probation period. A review of the blended working model confirmed that the model is working well in HIQA. As a result, HIQA is 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, including 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.
