An Garda Síochána launches recruitment campaign to fill 400 clerical jobs

Permanent and temporary posts available to candidates aged 17 years or older

An Garda Síochána has launched a recruitment campaign to fill up to 400 clerical jobs across the force nationwide. The competition is being opened at a time when the force has recommenced recruitment in a bid bolster the number of civilian and sworn members after the pandemic.

The Garda has also been engaged in a longer process of recruiting thousands of civilian workers to fill posts and free up sworn members for frontline policing duties.

“This is a great opportunity to join our growing number of Garda staff who play an important role in supporting operational Garda colleagues in keeping people safe,” a spokesman said as the recruitment competition was officially launched on Wednesday.

Full-time permanent and temporary roles are available in a variety of areas including human resources, finance and procurement, internal audit, communications, research and analysis, estate management, legal and medical services.
