HMRC Tax Professional&Operational Delivery Higher Officer&Officer Caseworker Belfast

Yay they called back! 6-8 weeks too to Lisburn. Offices will eventually change to Belfast.
Asked her it's still O grade, looking into people's taxes and finding anything looking not correct, passing these to field agents ultimately. She said it's perfect if you are a nosey person haha.

Sounds like a very good starting point for HMRC. Mine was O too so I'd say on the basis we all got offers at the same time we will all be in Lisburn? Yea the Belfast she's talking about is the Regional centre due to open in 2017/18 somewhere in titanic quarter I think

Yeh I guess we will all be together staring same time. Looking forward to meeting you all in person too haha

Anybody still yet to do their Access NI? I haven't heard anything since giving documents in at Lisburn two weeks ago.

Almost the same. I submitted my documents to Moira House about 2 months ago now. Only contact since was to complete an Occupational Health document and to go into my CSR portal, click Next Stage and enter a lot of information. Nothing to say whether it was for DBS or Access NI. That was about 4 weeks ago and nothing since. My checks still aren't showing as completed either.

CSR in England told me to take mine to Custom House and they would contact them in England directly after they had verified my documents as it would speed things up. They did it there and then. Wouldn't surprise me if your documents are still in Moira House waiting to be sent off.

I got an email today to apply for my AccessNI, and said to follow the link.....but there was no link in it.

I can google to the page, but there are different options, for different checks, and I am a little stuck which one to choose.

I can either apply for a basic check, basic check through responsible body, standard check through a registered body or enhanced check through a registered body

Can anyone advise which check they applied for?

Thanks

Mine was the same with no link. The paragraph above the pin in my email said to do standard check through body though. Does yours not say similar?

It did mention that, but just wanted to confirm, just in case I cause any further delays. But if yours is the same I will go ahead and complete that one

Thanks for clarifying!

Beware, I got the certificate sent directly to HMRC in Newcastle upon Tyne, it got lost (surprise) and as I hadn't posted it myself I had no reference number to help them try to locate it. I had to then request a replacement certificate from AccessNI (you can only have one replacement) which I had sent to my home address, and I posted it myself recorded delivery so I had a record of it! This also seemed to get lost (another surprise) but I was able to give a reference tracking number and also sent them a screenshot of the signature that had signed for it, and hey presto they magically found it. Just got my email today about my pre-employment checks being satisfactorily completed.

When did your pre-employment checks start or when did you supply the evidence?

Got the provisional offer email on 16/08/16, which seems to be the same for most, went to Moira House in Lisburn to hand over qualifications etc on 20/09. So 20/09 I would say it started. Since then they have managed to lose every single thing I have sent, even things that were sent by email. Has been a prettty harrowing experience TBH lol. Firstly they said my details on the online DBS for my passport and driving licence didn't match the hard photo image
they received from Moira House (which they did), then they lost my Health Declaration, which in the end I sent three times by email, then they lost my AccessNI certificate too! I sent the second certificate last Thursday by recorded delivery, got delivery confirmation from Royal Mail on Monday, and got email today about passing pre-employment checks.
