NICS Staff Officer and Deputy Principal recruitment 2022 2023

OP

DP recruitment closed today - did everyone who wanted to apply manage to submit, or were there any issues with the website (like there were for the Staff Officer applications)?

Updates on both (although as far as I can make out, there isn't a lot happening on either SO or DP programmes yet!)

Staff officer:

Online assessments all completed, so now everyone is playing a waiting game while the results/eligibility sifts are processed.
First interviews scheduled for w/c 27 June, and will be running for 2 weeks, so hopefully people will start to hear something soon.

Deputy principal:

Applications closed, and I didn't hear about any drama/website crashing like it did for the SO applications.
An email will be issued to all applicants on 27 May inviting them to take the online assessments. These need to be completed by 5pm on Friday 10 June.

I got mine in and just received an email asking for my reasonable adjustments (dyslexic).
Do you have a link to the DP Candidate booklet? Thanks

I think if you search for the vacancy number you should get it. If not, you might need to contact HR Connect.

I suppose it's reasonable to assume we should have the results for the SO tests next week then if they're planning on issuing invites to the DP aptitude tests next week - Am I right in thinking they mentioned taking the results from the SO tests if you passed instead of doing them all over again? Couldn't find it in the candidate info booklet but I could swear I read that whilst applying for the DP role

@drew Walcott I didn't see that about not having to re-take the tests. I thought they'd need to be taken again as it's a different grade.

800 is very good, do you still need to pass the sift though
