NRS12255 Clerical Officer Grade III HSE

Closing date 15th June - been on the HSE panel since a November last year - still waiting to be placed though low double figures - received 4/5 expressions of interest for Tipp but nothing further - seems like a slow moving panel

Mainly competency based questions but I got a few general questions about the HSE eg how many regions within the HSE are there, how many people does the HSE employ etc

Hi

I am around the same score as yourself so not holding out much hope. Any idea how long the panel will be live for. Does anyone know can your score change after interview?

The process moves very slowly unfortunately,If you've completed all the forms with regards references and health declarations etc, They are obviously in the process of contacting your referees.

Once that's completed, Your line manager should get in touch,might be a few other bits of paperwork and then a start date will be agreed.

It is frustrating,took me about 6 weeks from when i accepted a post,to when i started.

I scored in the 70s and interview is early next week. Its moving fairly quickly.

I've been working in the hse for 2 years on specified purpose contracts from the 2017 panel.

Last panel took the guts of a year to go from application to interview/panel numbers being given out so this is pretty surprising how quickly it's moving.

Hi

Someone I know was over 60 for meath and they have an interview next week

I've been through a few (including this one) now. It's very competency based and they will ask further followup questions on your competencies so be sure to know them well. It's good to use examples that fit the needs listed in the prep document as well as you can. It's very fast paced as jkmanc said, the time absolutely flew past.

Don't forget to have your ID ready to go and have a glass of water with you - you'll need it!

Yeah as I mentioned somewhere it seems to be a slow process especially compared to other more in demand parts of the HSE such as healthcare assistants and general support staff, best of luck

I didn't get any questions like that, there were some questions about GDPR and the complaints procedure and where you could work within the HSE though this could change for each group of interviewers.

The interview follows quite closely to the prep document. Mine had the 3 competencies mentioned as most likely to come up and they tell you who will be asking what and they introduce the competencies too so if you have your examples prepared you can launch into them. They asked a few questions about my answers too so be prepared for that.

My board was really nice and it went by pretty quickly. Best of luck!

I checked the additional info document from a grade iv panel I interviewed for recently and it says your panel number comes from the interview. The assessments just gives the order you'll be invited to interview in.
