I wish to inform the Deputy, an open recruitment campaign for Technical Agricultural Officers (TAO) was advertised on 24 March 2023.

Closing date for receipt of applications was 13 April 2023.

This competition is being managed by the Public Appointments Service (PAS).

This competition is currently active with interviews scheduled. There are no plans for a further recruitment campaign for TAO to follow in 2023.
