Employees of the public health service fall into one of the following six staff categories:

- General Support

- Patient & Client Care

- Management/Administrative

- Medical/Dental

- Nursing

- Health & Social Care Professionals

While in the main, employees of the public health service have the same terms and conditions of employment, any different arrangements that apply to specific cohorts of staff can be found within the HSE's Terms and Conditions of Employment staff guide, which can be viewed online here: healthservice.hse.ie/staff/benefits-and-services/hr-forms/terms-and-conditions-of-employment/
