CSR/1320/16 - Higher Officer Caseworkers (Tax Professional and Operational Delivery)

So are these 1000 new vacancies only advertised internally and are they for HEO?

Yup advertised internally only at the moment and for HEO.

That's good, maybe explains why there is no reserve list this time?

My reasoning is that it would appear they have failed to get enough people to meet the minimum standard, hence the advertisement of 1000 posts internally. Also have you noticed that no one has got a reserve list letter? All just successful or unsuccessful.

No idea what 042R means lol

I pressed submit on that application this morning in fear that I may have been rejected for the June batch but just seconds later I got my provisional offer with scores of 5554. What location did you apply for and also can you confirm that formal offers will be made by next week?

Hey, well done on your scores. I don't have mine yet. Unfortunately I can't confirm anything, I can only relay that which CSR tell me, and to be honest nothing has been to timescale thus far so I wouldn't take it as a certainty in terms of formal offers being made.

Thanks for that thought as much. What location have you applied for? You will hopefully get through as well. To be honest I was told via email last Friday that results will be out this week and they were so I cant fault them too much its just that I was waiting for a separate O grade tax role which I have been waiting ages just for pre employment checks even though I am now internal. But that role is irrelevant to me now.

Double congrats to you then buddy! That's a good jump! I applied for Belfast so still waiting on scores.

Thanks again well I did apply for the HEO as an external in February when bizarrely they only had one competency and seemed to fail everyone. I am actually an O grade in HMRC so not that much of a jump. Just a little bit fearful of the exams as I haven't done any exams in 10 years.

I am sure you will be fine and people will help each there through. You end up as an accredited accounting technician once the programme is complete isn't that right?

No it's not accredited by AAT anymore.*

They are trialling ICAS training so you might get some recognition by them. *
