Communications Specialist
Background The Civil Service is at the heart of Irish society. Everything we do impacts our country, and most importantly, our people. We are a robust and trusted institution, which has served the people of Ireland since the foundation of the State. While the challenges which face the Civil Service today are different to those faced at the foundation of the State, our core values remain the same. The Civil Service is a large complex organisation employing over 47,000 people in approximately 40 Government Departments and offices and a range of other bodies. Every day the Civil Service makes a vital contribution to Irish life. Everything the Civil Service does, from carrying out the work of Government to delivering frontline public services, impacts Ireland in some way. Improving communication capacity across Government Departments is a key enabler to ensure effective policy implementation and strong public understanding of the work being carried out by Civil Servants in delivering for the people of Ireland. In recognition of the importance of communicating and engaging with citizens, Departments have professionalised their communications services at all levels. The Civil Service is now recruiting for Communication Specialists which can offer a satisfying, and varied career, with competitive terms and conditions. As well as a rewarding and challenging career, some of the benefits the Civil Service offers as Communication Specialists are: • Competitive salary, with yearly increments for satisfactory performance • Public Sector pension • 29 days of annual leave per year rising to 30 after 5 years’ service • Flexible working, with a commitment to work-life balance and a family-friendly workplace • Learning and development opportunities, including access to a refund of course fees scheme, paid study leave and paid examination leave • Access to Shorter Working Year Scheme • Facility to apply for career breaks • Cycle to work scheme • Access to Public Service Credit Union • Tax saver public transport pass • Regular opportunities for promotion through internal, inter-departmental and open competitions.

They will also be expected to apply judgement and flexibility in a challenging and fast-moving environment. The role presents an excellent opportunity for successful candidates to shape communications policy, strategy and practice within Government Departments and offices. Applicants should note that in some Government Departments/Offices, or in ‘agencies’ of a Government Department the role will require an element of evening/weekend work. Where this occurs, Civil Service overtime and travel and subsistence rates will apply.
