There are 28 vacancies for Higher Executive Officer and above in my Department as on the 31st March 2025. Once a role becomes vacant, or a new post is created, the Department aims to fill the post as soon as possible using one of the available recruitment methods. Of the posts listed below, it is anticipated that approximately 70% of these will be filled by the end of 2025 subject to panel availability and positive candidate responses to offers of posts.
