Civil Service Fast Stream 2015/16

In other news Parity requested my birth certificate today, which was a stress, they say once received they can mark my pre appointment checks as cleared. My passport has expired and apparently my driving licence and civil service reference plus mortgage statement isn't enough lol

How odd!! I'd have thought being a civil servant already would make the pre-appointment checks process simpler. Surely they must have enough information about you on record?!

I heard from DAS this morning by email confirming I am allocated to MoJ and stating I will hear more about role etc by 21 November, if that helps with timescales. I emailed DAS on Thursday asking if they could give me a clue and they said they were awaiting on MoJ to confirm roles and locations and should know within 7 days. To be fair, it seems to me it's the departments that are slow and not CSR/DAS or Parity. Parity have cleared my pre appointment checks already lol.

Thanks! Yeah I was told my allocated department on the 19th October, and that I will hear more about roles by 9th November. It does seem to be the departments that are causing the wait now! Hopefully I will hear back about roles/locations soon, because it's stressing me out wondering if I'm going to have to move halfway across the country at some point in the near future. Congratulations on MoJ!

Yeah. I can't afford to take it unless it is local. I am resigning from my role to go self employed if this post isn't viable. I wish they would just get on with it now so I can plan. Lol.

I'm currently in the land of graduate unemployment and living with my parents, so I told them I'd go literally anywhere. I was hoping it would work in my favour, but now I'm just stressed that they're going to be like "yeah, can you be in London in two weeks?" I'm holding out hope that if they offer me a role it'll be in the North West so I can at least commute whilst I look for somewhere to live. I hope everything works out for you

Any HMRC'ers heard about their role yet? I haven't completed my pre-appointment checks yet for a plethora of reasons and I worry this will affect me hearing back.

I literally just heard! Been offered a role in Manchester/Salford (subject to all the checks) which I am ecstatic about! I hope you hear back soon!

Has anyone heard back from the Home Office? I was told I'd hear back by the 2nd but been told there are delays. Starting to worry now!

I'm waiting too, it's a bit ridiculous now it's been over two months and dates are still being pushed back. Have you heard anything on location? I hope it's Westminster, Croydon would be such a trek for me everyday from where I live (assuming you asked for London).
