As a part of its efforts to continue to attract talent to the Turks and Caicos Islands Civil Service and to ensure that all new and vacant posts across government are filled on a timely basis, the Turks and Caicos Government is pleased to launch its Recruitment Program for the 2022/2023 financial year.
Commenting on the Turks and Caicos Government 2022/2023 Recruitment Program, Deputy Governor and Head of the Civil Service Her Excellency Anya Williams said:
“We are pleased to launch our recruitment program for the 2022/2023 financial year as we seek to fill a number of key positions across government and to attract new talent to the Turks and Caicos Islands Civil Service.
There are currently over 300 positions to be filled across the government.
The first recruitment drive which is currently being conducted includes over 80 positions and ranges across all ministries, including key positions in the Ministries of Health, Education, Infrastructure and Border Control.
We are pleased with the continued level of interest in TCIG positions and hope that with the implementation of the new 4% across the board salary increase and the introduction of 6% TCIG pension scheme, that this interest will further increase.
We also hope to see further promotions from within the service in the year ahead as we continue to focus on improving the skill-set of our current staff through the Civil Service Professional Development and other programs which provide access to scholarships and grants for Associate, Bachelors and Master’s degree programs as well as other training programs which allows our staff the opportunity to qualify themselves to compete for other positions across government.
During the 2021/2022 financial year there was a significant number of promotions within the public service, which included the promotion of two persons to the post of Permanent Secretary, 7 to the post of Deputy Secretary, 7 to the post of Principal, 4 to the post of Vice-Principal as well as a number of other key promotions across government.
We continue to provide the public with access to vacancies across the government through the publication of job advertisements on our webpage www.gov.tc/vacancies, as well as publications in our local newspapers and hope this year to further automate the application process.
As recruitment is an ongoing process with staff continuously moving up within and also at times out of the organization, we will do our best to ensure that positions that become available are filled within a timely manner throughout the year ahead.
I am grateful for the efforts of my staff within the Human Resource Management Directorate and also the various ministries and departments across government that work to ensure that positions across government are filled with the right people and skills to assist in moving the organization forward as we continue to seek to build a more effective and efficient public service.”
