(1) Total FTE - 2312 FTE. [see paper tabled no.] for breakdown by directorate and district.
Please note: In order to have capacity to fill positions and be as flexible as possible, the Department creates an additional 5% positions over its funded FTE. This assists districts to work within a natural vacancy/attrition rate. Previous answers to the same questions have referenced the FTE number of created positions in its establishment. It is more accurate to reflect the funded FTE. This answer uses funded FTE.
(2a) Total Vacancies - 217 FTE. [see paper tabled no.] for breakdown by directorate and district.
(2b) 86 FTE were subject to advertising/pool recruitment processes. for a full breakdown.
