Temporary Clerical Officer
Introduction The Civil Service is at the heart of Irish society. Everything we do impacts our country, and most importantly, our people. We are a robust and trusted institution, which has served the people of Ireland since the foundation of the State. The Civil Service has played, and continues to play, a critical role in supporting the whole of Government response to the needs of the nation. While the challenges which face the Civil Service today are different to those faced at the foundation of the State, our core values remain the same. The Irish Civil Service is a large complex organisation employing nearly 42,000 people in over 40 Government Departments and Offices with a diverse set of responsibilities to support the Government by developing policy options and legislation to address major national issues, coordinating the broader public service, helping to manage the economy and delivering services to the public. Civil Service Renewal 2030 is an ambitious 10-year strategy of reform for the Civil Service. It is aligned to Better Public Services, the Public Service Transformation Strategy which aims to deliver for the public and build trust. The Civil Service Renewal Strategy will be implemented through a series of 3-year action plans that will detail the precise goals and initiatives which will progress each of our strategic priorities to ensure a diverse and high performing Civil Service that is more inclusive, engaged, agile and ready to meet current and future challenges. By implementing these plans and demonstrating an enduring commitment to public service values, the Civil Service can create a more diverse yet unified, professional, responsive, open and accountable organisation that inspires trust and confidence in Ireland and internationally.

Next Steps Should you come under consideration to proceed to subsequent stages of the selection process, information will be forwarded to you at the appropriate time. Shortlisting Normally the number of applications received exceeds the numbers required to fill existing and future vacancies. While you may meet the eligibility requirements of the competition, if the numbers applying for the positions are such that it would not be practical to interview everyone, publicjobs may decide that a number only will be called to interview. In this respect, publicjobs provide for the employment of a shortlisting process to select a group for interview who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be the most suitable for the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily unsuitable, or incapable of undertaking the job, rather that there are some candidates who are, prima facie, better qualified and/or have more relevant experience. During any shortlisting exercise that may be employed, publicjobs are guided by an assessment board(s) who examine the application forms and assess them against pre-determined criteria based on the requirements of the position. It is therefore in your own interests to provide a detailed and accurate account of your qualifications/experience on the application form. General Information The admission of a person to a competition, or invitation to attend interview, or a successful result letter, is not to be taken as implying that publicjobs is satisfied that such a person fulfils the requirements. Prior to recommending any candidate for appointment to this position publicjobs will make all such enquiries that are deemed necessary e.g. health, character, employer references, security checks (including international checks), or any other enquiries as are deemed necessary to determine the suitability of that candidate. Until all stages of the recruitment process have been fully completed a final determination cannot be made nor can it be deemed or inferred that such a determination has been made. Security Clearance You will be required to complete and return a Garda eVetting form should you come under consideration for appointment. This form will be forwarded to An Garda Síochána to initiate security checks on all Irish and Northern Irish addresses at which you resided. However, should your application for the competition be unsuccessful this form will be destroyed by publicjobs. If you subsequently come under consideration for another position, you may therefore be required to complete a further Garda Vetting Form. Reschedule Requests Reschedule requests will only be considered under exceptional circumstances as deemed acceptable by publicjobs (e.g. Bereavement/Illness). Please note that publicjobs may request supporting documentation as evidence. Candidates who are rescheduled will be scored with their rescheduled batch and will not be reinserted into their original batch. Specific candidate criteria In addition to fulfilling the eligibility criteria set out, candidates must: • Have the knowledge and ability to discharge the duties of the post concerned; • Be suitable on the grounds of health and character; • Be suitable in all other relevant respects for appointment to the post concerned. If successful, they will not be appointed to the post unless they: • Agree to undertake the duties attached to the post and accept the conditions under which the duties are, or may be required to be, performed; • Are fully competent and available to undertake, and fully capable of undertaking, the duties attached to the position. Non-Refund of Expenses Any expenses incurred by candidates whilst undertaking or attending any elements of the selection process will not be refunded. Appointments from panels At the end of the selection process a panel(s) of qualified candidates is formed from which vacancies may be filled. A panel is a list of qualified candidates ranked in order of merit from the final stage of the selection process. Should a vacancy arise and their place reached, candidates undergo the final stage of the selection process. It is not envisaged that appointments will be made from this competition after 31st October 2026. Prior to recommending any candidate for appointment to this position publicjobs or employing organisation will make all such enquiries that are deemed necessary e.g. employer references, to determine the suitability of that candidate. Until all stages of the selection process have been fully completed a final determination cannot be made nor can it be deemed or inferred that such a determination has been made. Qualification and placement on a panel is not a guarantee of appointment to a position. Please note that once an offer of appointment has been accepted a candidate may no longer remain on the panel. Deferrals from Panels Candidates should be aware that in most cases vacancies are for immediate positions. Candidates who meet the essential eligibility requirements, when reached on the panel, must undergo the clearance process. Deferrals will not be considered except in the most exceptional extenuating circumstances which will be considered at the discretion of publicjobs on a case-by-case basis. Please note that publicjobs may request supporting documentation as evidence. Employment start dates are arranged at the discretion of the employing department or organisation and candidates will be required to take up duty within a reasonable timeframe once assigned to a position. Deeming of candidature to be withdrawn Candidates who do not complete and submit the Online Assessments before the specified date; or do not attend/undertake any subsequent stage of the selection process as requested, attend for interview or other test when and where required by publicjobs or who do not, when requested, furnish such evidence as publicjobs require in regard to any matter relevant to their candidature, will have no further claim to consideration.

EV Local Infrastructure Coordinator
General Information: County Leitrim, located in the North West of Ireland, has a growing economy, picturesque landscape, vibrant communities and a strong arts and cultural sector. Leitrim County Council’s vision is to build an economically strong, creative, inclusive county, making Leitrim the best place to live, work, invest and visit. Key to the achievement of our priorities and objectives is a skilled and committed workforce, supported by enabling technologies, efficient work processes and learning and development opportunities. We are committed to the training, support and encouragement of our staff and we offer benefits across family friendly initiatives, personal development and wellbeing of staff. The Background: The Government of Ireland is committed to tackling climate action with practical, innovative solutions that support our economy, communities, and future generations. Promoting electric vehicles (EVs) is a central pillar of the Government strategy to reduce transport emissions and supporting Ireland's Programme for Government in its aim to address the immediate and long-term challenges facing Ireland, namely sustainability, inclusivity, and economic recovery. The Government's commitment to expanding EV charging infrastructure nationwide is part of a broader sustainability strategy to decarbonise the road transport fleet and promote the use of electric vehicles. A thriving EV sector will help deliver on the Governments’ climate action target to cut transport emissions by 50% by 2030, while positioning Ireland at the forefront of modern, sustainable transport solutions. Expanding Ireland’s electric vehicle charging network at regional and local levels is essential to achieving this goal. Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI), a dedicated office within the Department of Transport, launched the National EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy in January 2023 to coordinate the rollout of a reliable and accessible national EV charging network. The Regional and Local EV Charging Network Plan outlines the pathway to delivering charging infrastructure where it is needed most—at neighbourhoods, destinations, and key transport routes—while accelerating high-powered charging facilities along the National Road Network through the National Road Network EV Charging Plan. ZEVI engaged extensively with Local Authorities in relation to developing the Regional and Local EV Charging Network Plan 2025-2030. The Plan ensures a cohesive and standardised approach. Planning and delivery of charging will be coordinated and led by Local Authorities, working together to develop regional and local strategies that will promote a unified and efficient rollout of charging infrastructure and to facilitate the equitable transition to EV’s. The accelerated expansion of public destination and neighbourhood charging infrastructure will be led by local authorities with the support and in partnership with other public sector bodies, private sector groups and other stakeholders. To deliver a cohesive destination and neighbourhood charging network that meets local and national needs, a regional approach amongst local authorities will be taken to strategy development and implementation. Seven regions and three city areas were agreed with local authorities with Leitrim being in Region 1, comprising the Local Authorities of Cavan, Monaghan and Leitrim, and with Cavan as the Regional Lead. Strategy planning and project delivery for regional and local EV infrastructure projects both optimises funding and resources in addition to enabling coordination across jurisdiction borders. The regional groups can avoid the risks of insular, siloed planning and potential oversupply of infrastructure where demand does not warrant this while also ensuring there is sufficient infrastructure in rural and remote areas to meet future demand to ensure equitable access. National AFIR (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation) targets for EV charging capacity are divided across individual Local Authorities areas in the Plan. As a priority local authorities will develop charging network strategies and implementation plans to identify high quality locations for charging infrastructure that both provides for and meets user needs and achieves national charging infrastructure requirements. These local strategies will determine the minimum charging requirements at destination and neighbourhood locations and also consider the best approach to partnering with the private sector, in order to leverage technical expertise, resources and private funding. To overcome barriers to deployment, ZEVI is and will continue exploring financing mechanisms, standardisation efforts, regulatory streamlining, grid capacity planning, coordination among stakeholders, public education campaigns, and targeted incentives to encourage private investment in residential and destination EV charging infrastructure. To achieve Ireland’s Climate Action Plan targets, a collaborative effort among stakeholders, particularly with the electrical grid (e.g., Eirgrid and ESBN), is essential to overcome the challenge of timely delivery. Following their strategy development, in stage 2 of the project lifecycle, local authorities will identify shortlists of charging locations, which will be delivered in three phases, to meet local charging targets. The phased approach to infrastructure delivery takes into consideration demand, funding availability, and the deliverability of different sites. A phased approach allows for the immediate roll out of early mover projects, with minimal barriers, while allowing for adequate planning to be put in place to deliver more complex projects later on. Phasing allows local authorities to incorporate learnings along the way and adapt their plans providing an opportunity to fine-tune the infrastructure rollout, consider innovative solutions, and optimise coverage to meet user needs. Delivering the local charging infrastructure outlined in the Regional and Local EV Charging Network Plan at the scale and volume required will be extremely challenging. Anticipating the risks involved and responding with mitigation measures is essential to minimising delays to implementation. Challenges such as lack of resources, funding availability, site availability, limited grid capacity, supply chain disruptions, planning permissions, and other potential legal challenges may all risk the rollout of the destination and neighbourhood infrastructure required to be deployed by 2025 and 2030. However, by proactively addressing these risks through strategic planning, stakeholder collaboration, and adaptive approaches, these challenges can be overcome to ensure the successful implementation of high quality and accessible charging infrastructure.
