Finance Minister has launched a new approach to
recruitment for around 200 Administrative Officers, for vacancies
in the North West.
The new pilot recruitment competition invites applicants to
register their interest and carry out a self-assessment of their
skills and experience for roles across a number of departments at
www.nicsrecruitment.co.uk
Following the registration and self-assessment process,
approximately 600 applicants will then be invited to attend a
recruitment event on 27 November in the Ebrington Hotel where
they will undertake an interview and have the opportunity to
discuss the roles with representatives from a number of
departments.
With a starting salary of £26,449 per annum and an attractive
annual leave and pension package, these positions offer an
excellent opportunity to build a rewarding career in public
service.
Minister O'Dowd said: “Administrative Officers are
essential to the daily functioning of the Civil Service, whether
engaging directly with the public or supporting teams in the
delivery of services and projects, their contributions have a
meaningful impact on the lives of people and communities
here.
“I encourage anyone who is interested in a career within
the Civil Service to register their interest. It is expected
there will be up to 200 vacancies within the North West across a
number of departments.
“At the recruitment event applicants will be able to
explore vacancies, speak directly with departmental
representatives, and complete interviews on the day with outcomes
provided within days. Successful applicants will then be eligible
to be placed in vacancies as they arise.
“This competition signals a move from
traditional, annual campaigns to a more agile and dynamic
approach to recruitment.”
Closing date for registration is 12 noon on Friday 7 November,
2025.
