I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department is committed to the Civil Service Workforce Planning process, has a robust Recruitment and Selection policy which feeds into an ongoing Resource Review conducted and directed by the Executive Board. This process identifies on a case by case basis, both current and upcoming resource requirements in my Department.

As part of the workforce planning my Department is currently running internal competitions for Principal Officer (currently 1 vacancy) and Assistant Principal Officer (currently 1 vacancy) and PAS (Public Appointments Service) is finalising an Administrative Officer competition for which we currently have 22 vacancies and we expect to have candidates available in mid-January. My Department is also awaiting the assignment, by PAS, of one Executive Officer and five Clerical Officers.

A vacancy will occur at the end of January 2016 for a Press Officer and a competition to fill this vacancy will be completed this week.
