My department does not have a role in Public Sector transfers. Public Servants are employed under different legislative provisions and terms and conditions to Civil Servants. A Public Servant may apply for positions through an open recruitment competition for the Civil Service.

You will be aware that my department are currently developing a Civil Service Mobility scheme. This is one of a number of arrangements to be put in place to fulfill the requirements of Action 15 of the Civil Service Renewal Plan. The aim of the Mobility scheme is to create a fair, transparent and practical system that facilitates mobility across the Civil Service. This scheme is being launched on a phased basis, with Phase 1 of the scheme facilitating mobility for the general Civil Service grades of Clerical Officer and Executive Officer. It is intended that Phase 2 of the scheme, which will be introduced at a later stage, and will be open to the general Civil Service grades of Higher Executive Officer, Administrative Officer and Assistant Principal Officer.

A review of the Civil Service Mobility Scheme will be carried out after the launch of all phases.  Plans to extend mobility to provide additional development opportunities and enable greater mobility across the public service will be assessed at this stage.
