Sort by: relevance | dateSpecialist 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.
