Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail the current job vacancy list for the Education Authority, including how long each job has been unfilled.


Answer:
The table below provides information on the Education Authority’s (EA) job vacancy list as at 11th October 2024.
Information on the how long each role has been unfilled is not held centrally on the EA’s recruitment system and is therefore not readily available.

Notes:
Information is based on vacant posts in the EA advertised as at 11 October 2024. 
The EA job vacancy list can change on a daily basis.
The current EA vacancy list is available on the EA external and internal job sites.  These sites are updated and change daily.
The responsibility for school-based staffing matters, including the management of vacancies, is delegated to individual schools. This means it is not possible to provide information on all vacancies across schools.
