The annual public sector staff recruitment planning, which foresees the approval of 16,521 recruitments for 2024, was presented to the cabinet by the Minister of the Interior Niki Kerameos and the Deputy Minister Vivi Charalambogianni.
Recruitment planning is fully in line with the estimates of the Ministry of the Interior in collaboration with the General Accounting Office of the State in application of the 1:1 rule, i.e. one recruitment for every one departure.
It is clarified that the rule of 1:1 is applied overall to the entire State and not per sector, which allows to cover, on a priority basis, the special needs observed in the different sectors, on a case-by-case basis.
Recruitment in the Health sector is a priority
In application of the above and taking into account the priorities set by the Government as well as the requests submitted by the agencies, Mrs. Kerameos proposed for the year 2024 the approval of a total of 16,521 recruitments, of which a significant number will be directed to three critical sectors of State:
Climate crisis: In the context of dealing with the climate crisis, special emphasis is placed on:
– To the officers of the Fire Academy (doubling the number of candidates, making use of 700 positions for specialized personnel at the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection – EMODE, helicopter operators, engineers, navigators).
– To meet the needs of agencies based in the affected areas.
– To strengthen branches related to the protection of forests.
Minister Niki Kerameos noted that, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced, “our main priority is recruitment in the Health sector, but also in other critical sectors of the state’s operation in a targeted and rationalized manner, in order to staff the Public Sector with the necessary and competent personnel . Our goal is the continuous improvement of the service to the citizen in and by the effective coverage of his needs”.
