CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

Hi all,

I just received the email below from the Public Appointments Service; Does this indicate that I will soon be offered a position?

I have a question regarding point 5 regarding referee email contact details for all employments within the last 3 years including current employer. Do they require supervisor/ manager name & contact email or how to phrase same ?

Dear (My Name),

I am emailing from the Public Appointments Service. I hope you are well.

You are now under consideration for a position from the Clerical Officer 2022 panel for (My County).

These checks are carried out to satisfy the Public Appointments Service that the candidate fulfils all necessary requirements. Prior to assigning any candidate for appointment to the position, the PAS will make all such enquires necessary to determine the suitability of that candidate.

There was about a month between vetting and getting a start date for me, maybe less.

Once you pass the interview stage, does that mean you are in provided you pass the Garda vetting stage?

Or will you be waiting until a vacancy comes up?

When does the competition close?

Anyone any idea how far up in galway they are at placements?

I'm in the same boat as yourself, waiting to be placed. I returned all requested documents to clearance, including garda vetting..

My vetting was recieved by the NVB on Friday 19th May, and got a further email this week on Monday 29th May stating my vetting had been completed, so vetting took 10 working days.

I'm wondering the same, wondering how long it takes for the rest of the process, how long it takes for PAS to get references, etc.

Hi all,

I got the following email from clearance;

Hope you are well.

As you outlined in the self-declaration form you have provided, please provide us with a statement from your employment from the last 12 months on headed paper.

Many thanks,

Has anyone got this email as part of the clearance process?

What exactly are PAS expecting here? What do I need to send here? Is it just dates of employments, positions held, etc.?

Thank you

Thank you so much. I wonder what the time frame is for PAS receiving this? I held two temp agency employments and a C.E. scheme in the past 12 months, just wondering because I don't know how long it might take to get a statement from each position held in past 12 months.

Anyone know?

Thank you so much furrybones. I requested same, and received same this morning from my employments. 😊

Passed the interview 24th March, contacted by clearance last month re - a position, have completed Garda Vetting this week, and also this week contacted by PAS to provide a statement of service for all positions held in the last 12 months.
