The qualifications declared for the post of assistant staff officer enable existing local authority employees, including persons originally employed as general operatives, to compete for such posts if they have at least two years' satisfactory experience as a clerical officer or in an analogous post. In such cases, the leaving certificate requirement does not apply. It is a matter for the employing authority to determine whether an applicant for a post of assistant staff officer possesses the qualifications for that post.
