Civil Service Investigation/ Intelligence Officer Role

Yes, I was emailed that I was being given an O role too. I think you are right, we will probably all study common modules. There is so much more I would like to know about the role like what the training will be like etc, but I suppose we will have to wait and see.

Are there different levels? I presumed its either intelligence or investigative. My email just said 'for the role of officer in london'.

I too would like more info about the training, modules, medical etc

In my interview they said we will have to go on a course and be away from home up to 4 weeks. They also will give us a mentor who will help us.

They are both at O level, but the two roles are different, aren't they?

Oh, a mentor. That sounds good! I wasn't aware of that. I do know that we will have to go away for training, that could be exciting.

You also received an offer for the other role, too, right? In the other thread? Have you decided which one you like better?

Yes both roles are different. I'm currently watching youtube videos on how to apply handcuffs lol.

Yes the other role the offer was at O level. I've decided to go for the investigative/intelligence role. On the email it said I had to choose by 9th December. This role looks more interesting, with maybe more development opportunities. It needs more flexibility however we get an allowance. Do you have any particular preference for any role?

Someone already posted this but I found this link helpful in terms of what some of our duties could involve. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/chmanual/ch20000.htm

Do you think that they've sent emails to everyone who they wanted to offer a position to or do you think they have only sent some of them? I'm worried that no news is bad news

I'm sorry, I've no idea. Hopefully you will hear by tomorrow.

Don't worry, it seems like they only just started sending out emails at the end of last week so it's literally only been a few days and they've got hundreds to send out. And remember to keep an open mind. I didn't walk out of my interview feeling like it went smoothly (felt like i missed out a lot due to nerves) so i think we're a lot harder on ourselves than we should be. Best of luck!

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering if anyone has heard anything for jobs in Leeds? I've been lurking on this thread for a while but haven't seen anyone mention it as their preferred location.

Also my status is still on 'Scheduled for 1st Interview' - hopefully this isn't a bad sign...

Hey there!

I don't think they have released any result from the Northern regions yet.

I know someone that had their Interview in Leeds on the last interview date and they were told not to expect to hear anything back until mid December as they were having some delays.

So. . . I wouldn't worry too much about it!
