Census collector discussion thread

^ They can turn it around pretty quick when they need someone. I applied around the 6th of March and heard back from my coordinator yesterday about the time/meeting place.

Did they email you? Or did they phone you?

I received an unknown call the 1st April but I could not take the call. I wonder if it was them.

Heya, from experience with the Capita people, if it had been them that called they would have left a voicemail if possible. You usually get your job offer by email, not heard of anyone who was called to offer them a job but I guess they might do now since they probably need people immediatly.

Got my first email for my coordinator today saying time and date to meet.

I feel sorry for everyone who has spent ages waiting between each stage and doesn't even know yet, I've been pretty lucky to have a smooth process.

has anyone saved a copy of there contract? I forgot to and I'm not entirely sure who the employer is - ONS or Capita?

my co-ordinator still hasn't got in touch today and i start on wed!!!! think i'll give he/she until 5pm tomoro then i'll ring recruitment up! i'm so un-prepared. do they email you or ring you? i'll keep refreshing my emails...

i received my payroll number on the 1st April, sent off my p45 parts 2 and 3 today, supposed to start in 2 days (wed) and heard nothing from my census co-ordinator...hope he/she rings today!

i also need saturday off as i'm supposed to be at a stag do, reckon i'll be allowed it off and make up my hours friday or sunday? (i'm contracted to 37)

My Co-ordinator emailed me about 4 days ago introducing himself blah blah, giving information about the induction venue and times and more importantly asking me to confirm that I still want the job. He said if no response is received by the set deadline, he would attempt to ring me up and if he isn't unable to get in contact then he would go ahead to withdraw the job offer. So, I think the common practise is for he/she to email you.

Try and get in touch with the Helpdesk if you are having any concern.

Cheers.

The week for census begins on a Saturday, so for the first week although you been contracted to work 37 hours, you will not be able to. As you will only be working from Wednesday to Friday.

Any one know how long the induction meeting actually lasts?? Thanks!!
