HMRC Graduate Tax Specialist Programme 2016

Not yet...I'm just trying to get an idea of when we can expect to hear anything. If what Jayloo's says is correct re the start dates in October, when are supposed to hand in our notices given that most employers require a month minimum?!

Bit of a random question but does anyone know what hmrc are like for honouring already booked holidays? Got a holiday booked for December and currently going through the pre employment checks for an O position in Manchester. Don't particularly want to have to cancel 10 days in the sun!

I wouldn't worry about it. They'll take a common sense view. No one's going to make you cancel your leave. Just mention it to your manager when you meet them.

Well done RChilton! I'm in the Newcastle office so I guess I'll be seeing you in a couple of weeks! Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I'm wondering if the speed of processing depends on which office you will be based at.

I presented all my documents at Nottingham on Friday and had an email to complete my DBS and health declaration yesterday so things look like they are progressing.

Is dbs and health questioaire the final stage of pre employment checks? So next stage would be formal offer.

I have just had this email response from CS Resourcing this morning:

'We are still awaiting confirmation from the vacancy holder to commence your checks.
As you are an external candidate, you will be invited to complete an online DBS, this will indicate the beginning of your pre-employment checks. We normally give up to 4 weeks for pre-employment checks, as long as there are no delays with collecting information. Kind Regards'

Sorry for the late reply. It took about 3-4 weeks, I'm not sure precisely. Also, I've been made a formal offer now as well, about 2 weeks after my pre employment checks were done which should give an approximate timescale.



Yes, I only got to stage two. I know, that does bother me a bit to be honest but I mean it's a good graduate job with decent pay so I'm not gonna look this gift horse in the mouth haha. Hope they've got back to you now.

Anyone who has accepted the provisional offer, do you have to complete any of the files that come under the 'View Attachment' page on the civil service websites?I have attached a screenshot of the files I am talking about, hope someone can help clear my doubt! Thanks!

I completed the character verification and pension questionnaire when I took my documents in to be copied - you don't have to do anything until asked to.

Hey what role did you apply for and did you have to take in the documents after receiving a formal offer?

Hiya

I originally applied for TSP but didn't make the cut. Got a provisional offer for a tax professional caseworker role in Nottingham in mid August. Was asked to take my documents in last week and have done my DBS and health form this week.


Still in the pre employment checks stage so no confirmed offer yet.

What about you?

Hey,

Similar situation but offered the O grad role for London and haven't received any DBS checks or any correspondence since receiving the provisional offer around mid August. When did they get back to you regarding your DBS checks?
