Staff

Having the right staff in post when required is critical to NISRA meeting it´s work commitments and therefore satisfying customer and Departmental needs.

The number of staff employed by the Agency at the end of March 2007 was 355, of whom 109 were administrative grades, and 246 were statistical grades.  In addition, NISRA employed a field-force of 280 fee-paid survey interviewers.  Approximately one third of Agency statisticians and all NISRA administrative staff work in seven DFP-based branches.

The remaining two-thirds of NISRA statisticians are located across Northern Ireland Departments and in a number of Agencies and Non-Departmental Public Bodies.
