NEW 2022 Assistant Principal Competition - Open and Interdepartmental

I have just got notification of interview and presentation date

Me too!😀😮

Hello anyone who has already been offered a position how long roughly did it take from self declaration forms return to offer? For InterD. Thanks

Thanks so much for that information. Im a way off yet at 1096...really good to know, best of luck with your interview. :)

Anyone know where there at for Cork and Tipp.

No references are required at application stage. So most likely clearance.

Where were you on the OOM lozen? My references were sent back Tuesday and i haven't heard anything yet.

Where were you offered out of pure nosiness?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just looked at the previous page and saw you were 6th, still curious as to where you were offered.

FYI, most recent update from PAS re AP2022 (I emailed a few weeks ago re Open comp):

"Candidates who selected regions Dublin (Total Score of 1111 or higher), Meath (Total Score of 1227 or higher), Offaly (Total Score of 995 or higher), Kildare (Total Score of 1134 or Higher), Laois (Total Score of 1043 or higher) and Wexford (Total Score of 1055 or higher) have been brought to the next stage of the recruitment process.

We are currently operating a demand led recruitment approach for this competition, so we are only calling candidates forward when there is a demand from departments to fill vacancies within regions."

Congratulations! Is any element of your new position remote or is it office based? Thanks

Yep. That's what HR in DCEDIY have confirmed. 3 home 2 office

That was my score after the first stage so the same on both inter D and open.

I was placed 372 on the inter D and 542 on the open after stage 1.

In a similar situation with DSP. I asked about the next steps - they said it can sometimes take a couple of weeks before the specific role is confirmed, and advised not to give notice until then.

I'm moving from DSP. If working in Social Welfare Services e.g. Intreo services, illness benefit etc it can be very demanding and high pressured with large numbers of staff and claim processing. Alot of time spent fire fighting staff issues and very stats driven. If working on policy side and based in one of the HQs it can be more project based with lesser numbers of staff and therefore less problematic. It's a huge dept with around 7k staff but they're spread nationwide. Alot of Dublin based roles could be policy based but worth asking which side of the house you'll be working on.

Thanks very much for that. I emailed a follow up today to check rough timeframe for an update. If I need to I’ll try asking my current employer if I can extend notice period as unfortunately I’ve already submitted notice in writing. It’ll work out - or I’ll make it work if I need to.🤞🏼

The booklet states:

It is not envisaged that appointments will be made from this competition after 31st October 2024. 

So we're probably looking at Q2 2024 before the next competition to open.
