Hello,

For anyone wondering about whats going on with this competition, I just rang Hrconnect and was told there is no estimated timeline for when offers will be made and start dates. I was told to keep an eye out for any emails from them. Just wanted to update anyone in the same position, who like myself is eagerly waiting on the offers coming through 🙄.

Has anyone received any emails re the new EO2 roles this week? There were ones about ten days or so ago but radio silence it seems now.

What happens with Flexi time when moving posts with the Civil Service?

Does anyone know what happens with Flexi when moving posts? Is it carried over or taken from wage if in minus? and then start fresh in new post? Same grade. Different role. Substantive in both. New role through external competition.

Assistant Statistician comp update ??

Has anyone heard anything about this comp? I had requested feedback ages ago and still haven’t had anything back.

I placed high 60s so I am beginning to think I won’t be offered a post, but trying to remain optimistic 🫢

Trainee Internal Auditor Interview

Hi folks, currently have an interview date for the above role. 5 competencies, in person, 35 minutes in length - analogous to EO1. Would it be safe to assume 1 question per competency (~5-6 minutes per response)? I know it's probably worth having a backup for each one but with time constraints and my terrible memory not sure how beneficial this would be to me lol

Interested in applying for a role which is very close to home, I don't drive but would be a 10 minute walk to the office from my house. I am also a 5 min walk from train and bus stations. This role is hybrid and would be based mostly in the office, from reading the job description there would be travel to local events as part of the role (not every day but occasionally). I have all the skills and experience they are asking for but are my chances gone if I can't drive? It is down as an essential criteria on the form. I am aware you can only opt for public transport if you have a disability that prevents you from driving. Just wondering how strict they can be on this, or if its something they would look past if you had the relevant skills and experience.

Permanent transfer indefinitely delayed.

I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this. I work for a Dept in the NICS as an SO and last August I had formal approval to move to an office closer to home to take up another vacant post which is the same job as my own. It is now May 2026 and HR has still not given me any indication of when I can move. I've had a request for several years to get this office.

I'm being kept in my current position as my Line Manager is fighting to keep me. Surely this isn't fair. Other positions at the same level have been filled by agency staff but mine is not. I understand I'm experienced and cover a lot of work but I feel that I'm being unfairly treated. TIA.

Has anyone applied for the role above and knows whether the questions are specific to the energy sector, requiring detailed information in your answers (e.g. policies and similar)?

I have the relevant qualifications but don’t have much knowledge of energy policies.

EO2 placements in Derry

Does anybody know where the majority of the EO2 positions are in Derry? A friend got their pre-placement letter and we are trying to figure out where they might be placed. Hopefully it won't be long now.
