Gardaí offer 300 jobs to civilians

SOME 300 civilians are being recruited to An Garda Síochána as part of a major drive to release office-bound gardaí for operational duties.

Skilled professionals are also being asked to apply for senior positions in the force as part of the advertisement campaign, which begins in the national media today and tomorrow.

The force is looking for people to fill specialist “senior executive posts,” including chief administrative officer and separate directors for human resource management, information technology, strategy, communications and an legal advisor.
