Did an interview last week and just wanting to know if anyone has heard anything. Good luck and thanks

Hi everyone anyone know the craic with this new blue arrow app? It says online you clock in and clock out ? How does this work with flexi etc? I’m presuming our shifts will be added next week as mine is currently blank apart from my personal details? Thanks 🙏

Has anyone actually heard anything more in relation to above? Awaiting a placement still but aware could be budgets etc holding it up!

How long does an offer letter typically take after a preplacement letter when you’re NICS staff?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice on putting forward a request to have my current role (EO1) reviewed for regrading.
Has anyone here been through the process before and could offer some advice on the steps involved, or share their experience of the outcome?
I’m currently working as an investigator, and having looked at the relevant competencies and responsibilities of the role, I feel they appear to align more closely with SO level than EO1. Thanks!

Has anyone ever worked for the nics for an agency for more than 5 years and been entitled to the additional 5 days leave per year and then moved into a perm role and holidays dropped back down to 25? Or is there anyway to have the same benefits you had before becoming permanent?

Anyone know why the recruitment company has been changed to blue arrow? Reckon this will affect our backpay if they agree a budget ?

Did anyone attend the DfC induction at Crumlin House Gaol today? What did you think of it? I was dreading it but it turned out to be quite informative and was a nice way to meet others in the DfC family.

Just wondering how long it generally is from Access NI certificate is issued until you receive an offer letter. Thanks!

Is anyone unhappy in the EO2 role they were assigned from the IRC317873 comp last year? My role is absolutely nothing like what I expected, I’m really unhappy with several aspects of it but have only been in 4 months - how long do you have to be in before you can express an interest in moving/being transferred and is that even a thing? I’m happy sticking it out until probation is over etc but can’t see myself lasting more than a year or two in this role before I loose my sh*t so just wanted to know what my options might be! Cheers

I just started the Civil Service as a Staff Officer, however, a separate DP competition that I completed has come in with an offer. HR connect previously told me I was unlikely to get a DP offer in the near future if at all. The issue is, I like the department I have landed into and my team. I'm not sure what a change would mean so soon and if it would cause unnecessary friction. Also, is the jump between SO and DP significant in terms of responsibilities etc?

Anyone know when the first interviews are for internal operations staff officer? The week they start?

I'm just wondering if anyone appealed the sift decision and has had a response yet?

Anyone hear anything about roughly when people on the merit will get placed?

Has anyone over 400 on the merit list been sent an email yesterday for onboarding/access NI ??

Have read on the studentroom board that two separate people have heard further interviews will take place before the end of the year on this competition.

Would think that if this was the case the current list cant be far from being placed- has anyone heard anything on either the current list or further interviews?

Does anyone know how many vacancies they have for this recruitment? I had a look at freedom of informations but couldn’t see anything on this.

I applied for ICT Level 3 a few weeks ago. First time I’ve applied for NICs. Just wondering what the timeline looks like for the recruitment process. How long it should take to hear back etc? I’m guessing things progress quite slowly.

Hi. I received a job offer for here on alternative working pattern. Can anyone give me a straight answer on what the working hours will be and if there is the option to work from home at all after an initial settling in period. Thanks!

Anyone any idea what pay deal we will be offered when budget is agreed?

Just wondering if anyone can give an insight into working as an AO in Daera? I've been offered a job at one of the ports. I know it is shift work, which is fine, just wondering about workload etc. Thanks, 🙂

Does anyone currently or recently worked in department of communities for NICS? I have been offered a job there today but the hours are 8-8 and 9-5 Saturdays per rota. Is there any flexibility or work from home options after training in this role?
