Govt Offers Agency Workers Direct Full Time Employment

Tuesday, January 29, 2019 - 10:59

The Government has made offers of direct, full time employment in Government to all staff of recruitment agencies who have been providing ‘relief cover’ in the civil service.

The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, met with all workers employed via S&K, BETA and Rock Admin agencies. 

Mr Picardo convened the agency workers at 3pm to advise them that they are being offered employment in the Government directly through the Gibraltar Development Corporation (GDC) with immediate effect, so they will no longer be providing services on agency terms. They will instead be directly employed by the Government.

He was accompanied by the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia, the Chief Secretary Darren Grech and the Head of Human Resources for the GDC, Michael Crome.

Clerical / Administrative Support workers will be offered posts as Grade 1 Officers and Technical Officers will be offered posts in the Skill Zone scale of the GDC.

The Chief Minister also informed those assembled that the Government is with immediate effect opening the entry level AA vacancies in the Civil Service and that they will be able to apply for those posts as ‘internal applicants.’

Twenty two such posts, which is the total number of entry level vacancies available, will be opened no later than the end of this week.
