As a Census Liaison Officer, you will manage seven/eight Regional Supervisors and have responsibility for the successful delivery of Census 2027 in your assigned area. You will act as a key link between the Census Administration HQ in Dublin and the census field operation.
The rate of pay will be €59,435 annual equivalent. The contract duration is 21 September 2026 to 23 June 2027. (Therefore, the pay will be on a pro-rata basis).

There is a single recruitment competition for both the Census Liaison Officer and Census Regional Supervisor roles. You may apply for either or both roles. The applications will be shortlisted once the competition closes, and shortlisted applicants will be invited for interview. Applicants who are successful will be placed on a panel. The six highest scoring interviewees (who applied for both roles) will be appointed as Census Liaison Officers, while the next 46 highest scoring candidates, within geographical regions, will be appointed as Census Regional Supervisors.
