Been reading this thread for a while but kept myself quiet. Had my job offer, passed all checks, just waiting on start date. I am already HO so it should be an easy process. They told me 27th March that they needed a release date from my TL to be able to give me a start date. Terry B, hopefully we will be starting at the same time!
Anyone else get the email about part-time posts over the Summer?
Not interested in part time myself!

Hey NYC, Glad to here you're waiting on a start date. Hopefully I shouldn't wait much longer. I have a medical consultation on Friday, but I am assuming that will be passed. Are you waiting for a start date at Manchester?

I am. They emailed me asking for my workplace passport (OccHealth thing) and then said they would message my TL asking for a release date. That was a week ago and TL hasn’t mentioned it but told me he’d let me know when they’ve contacted him.

It’s for Manchester

Hi NYC,

Did you also have a phone consultation with the occupational health?

I went through that. Ended up with 3 follow up meetings. Last one will be this month.

Hi, hope everyone had a nice Easter!
Has anyone recieved a start date yet or contract?

Yes! Got my start date due to a last minute cancellation on the training course so they moved me up. I'll be training from the end of this month

First applied 26th September

For the latest campaign, do you need any qualifications (GCSE, A levels) to apply? A friend asked me but I can’t remember!


I don’t think you do

No, I have a degree that I have never used, and the HO have never asked me about it, they didnt even ask if I went to uni. Nor did they ask what qualifications I have. They wanted to know me, they wanted to know about my experiences.

Hope this helps

A couple of weeks ago you had to register you interest for the posts but it did not Guarantee a full time contract at the end which was around September if I remember correctly!
The cutoff was the 11th April!

Thanks they probably just sent it to areas needed...wonder how they are going to do security checks and training in time for a contract ending in September hardly seems worth it for them unless they put those people back on reserve for full-time in the future.
