Sort by: relevance | dateAdmin Staff Wanted for HSE Recruitment Call
*DETAILS ON HOW TO APPLY CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris has said the HSE is looking to hire non-medical professionals through its Call for Ireland recruitment drive and new hires will be paid. Speaking on RTÉ’s Sean O’Rourke programme, Harris said as of yesterday afternoon as 24,000 had signed up to the call, and the numbers have continued to rise overnight. As the Irish health service gears up to deal with the expected substantial rise in cases of Covid-19 across the country, the minister launched a massive recruitment drive for doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff. The HSE also needs the help of non-clinical workers, said the minister. These people will be paid and will either be given permanent roles in the health service or three-month contracts. “We need more than just clinical skills. So we’re also asking people who might have admin skills, who might be able to help with contact tracing to come forward as well,” he said, adding that people can apply online and someone will be in touch. “There is a role for everybody. In fact, there may even be some roles that people will be able to do remotely. And remember people are going to get sick of things that aren’t the coronavirus during this period of time. We’re going to need people working in primary care, we may well need people checking in remotely on some of our older citizens that are more vulnerable people and help provide them with advice over the phone. Workers will be paid When asked whether these people would be paid for their work, he said: “They’d be paid. We’re looking to hire people, and actually in many cases we’ll be offering people full-time permanent jobs, because you know when it comes to roles like doctors and nurses we need more. We’ll be offering people contracts of at least three-months duration. And on top of that, of course, there’d be many thousands volunteering, but no, we’re in the business of hiring. We’re open for business, and the only constraint will be the availability of people, and not finances.” Harris said he has been overwhelmed by the response of medical professionals who currently don’t work in the Irish health system signing up to help. “Over 1,000 nurses yesterday said, ‘I want to help, I want to come back’, and a lot of these people are people who perhaps haven’t been in clinical practice for a few years, they might be people who retired,” he said, stating that doctors are also re-registering.

*DETAILS ON HOW TO APPLY CAN BE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE Yesterday, the health service launched a major recruitment drive to help deal with the pandemic . All healthcare professionals who are not registered with the health service are being urged to be "on call for Ireland". In a tweet this afternoon, Minister Harris said the response so far had been an "amazing national effort" Earlier, the Medical Council here asked any available doctors to re-join the Medical Register as part of the country's COVID-19 response. They said any doctors re-registering will have all registration fees waived, while the process is being fast-tracked. President of the Medical Council, Dr Rita Doyle, said: “I am calling on my colleagues, be they recently retired, working in areas outside of clinical practise or working or studying abroad to assist with the national response to COVID-19. Thank you for your interest in supporting our health service during the Covid- 19 pandemic. COVID-19 or coronavirus is here and every one of us is taking action to reduce the impact it has on our families and communities.

Yes you can. We are recording the dates of birth of all those who register so we can make decisions on what age groups are most appropriate for which types of work. I have special skills that I believe will help, how can I let you know? If you have special skills that you believe will help, you can tell us those skills as part of your online regisistration under the discipline area “other useful skill area”. Already on HSE recruitment panel I am already on a HSE recruitment panel, will I get one of those jobs? This initiative is a response to an exceptional public health situation, aimed at increasing the available workforce. It is not a standard recruitment process nor does it replace normal HSE recruitment. The HSE recruitment panels are not linked to this initiative and will continue to be used to fill relevant vacancies arising as part of standard recruitment. About HSE jobs Will you fill normal HSE vacancies through this process? No. The aim of this initiative is to increase the available workforce to rapidly respond to emerging public health priorities as and where they may arise and hopefully for the short term. Normal HSE vacancies will be filled following the normal recruitment channels. The Selection Process Will I have to attend interview? A short telephone interview will be arranged to make sure we match the right people with the right roles. We will make contact with people to arrange these as and where the needs are emerging to fill roles. In some cases we may conduct more in-depth selection processes and we will inform you of that at the time. Will I have to do Garda/ Police clearance? Yes. In line the National Vetting Bureau Children & Vulnerable Persons Act (2012) all persons working in patient facing roles will need to be Garda Vetted. To ensure this does not delay your contribution to this important initiative, please respond to any Garda Vetting requests you receive as soon as you can. I have a criminal conviction, should I still apply? We cannot make that decision for you as this is specific to each individual. The nature of your conviction would determine whether or not you could proceed to a role that supports this initiative. I have not heard anything from you yet? Why not? We will contact you if your skillset, availability and geographic preference match with the emerging needs of the health service. This means we are responding to needs as and where they arise. We cannot predict where the need will arise. As you can appreciate this is a busy and challenging time for the health services so we ask for your continued patience and understanding in this regard. Childcare/ Care Arrangements What childcare arrangements will there be? At present there are no centralised childcare arrangements supplied for those who work/ volunteer for this COVID-19. If there is a change to this we will update this information. Local healthcare sites may offer arrangements and you will be advised of this if offered work in that site. About Covid-19 I have an underlying medical condition, can I still work/ volunteer? If you have an underlying medical condition you should disclose this to us if/ when we contact you. We will be guided by Occupational Health in assigning workers/ volunteers to particular care areas. Am I more likely to get COVID-19 if I take this job/ volunteer? COVID-19 is an infectious virus. Health care workers and any volunteers will be advised by the health service on how to reduce transmission and protect yourself. I want to help but I don’t want to work with COVID-19 patients, can I work/ volunteer in different healthcare area? The emphasis on this initiative is to support the management of COVID-19. The types of jobs and locations will be advised by the local services. If you do not want to take a job or work/ volunteer in a certain location you can decide not to take it. What if I don’t know that I have COVID-19 and I start working/ volunteering? If you believe you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or experience the symptoms, you should follow the existing public health advice including notifying your line manager immediately. Where can I find out more about COVID-19 or coronavirus? Keep yourself updated with the most up to date health care advice by visiting hse.ie/coronavirus.
