HMRC Graduate Tax Specialist Programme 2016

Has anyone who received a provisional offer in July for an HO position received a start date in Manchester?

Hello everyone, bit of an update. As I wrote in last week, I had been transferred from the TSP reserve list to the CSR/1666/16 HMRC Band HO Tax Professional Programme 2016 reserve list, as I guess they'd filled all the slots on TSP. Had this email through today:

Further to your application for the Tax Specialist Programme and the e-mail you received advising that we would consider offering appointments to other roles in HMRC.

I am pleased to be able to offer you an opportunity to join HM Revenue and Customs as a Tax Professional / Operational Delivery Caseworker at Higher Officer in Manchester.

This is a role in an exciting and challenging environment in HMRC. You will be part of a dynamic team working together with energy and enthusiasm and focusing on tackling tax evasion and non-compliance. The work is varied and interesting, it can be challenging but also rewarding. Training comprises of a mixture of e-learning, face to face and practical exercises and you may be required to undertake study, complete learning assessments and pass tax professional modules and exams within a given period.

Exciting news! There is still hope out there for us reserve listers. Not counting my chickens just yet as it's only a provisional offer with no set start date and subject to pre-employment checks etc. But promising nonetheless. Anyone else going to be working in Manchester on Evasion and Non-compliance?

Keeleyvic,

Have you been given formal offer yet ? I was given provisional offer for O position in Manchester too. But still waiting for formal offer and start date ? Let me know how yours is going ?

No, no formal offer yet. Went in last Thursday with my documents and received an email today to fill in my DBS and health records form. I was told on thursday that a formal offer will be sent out in about 6 weeks if everything is okay.

hey , have you receive any more update regarding your application yet. I was given a provisional offer in Manchester too.

i took all my docs in july, have been chasing the pre- employment check since middle of August . received an email today that my checks completed and passed . so i dont know how long it going to take again to receive the formal letter,

Hey guys,

Just a quick update regarding the O grad role, I received a call just now regarding the application and they told me to bring in some documents and I think they will begin the checks and stuff soon. She said they have only started doing the calls now and she had a lot of dates to come in and hand in the documents and therefore I think the start date is either end of October or start of November.

This was for London and you have to report to Euston tower.

Hope this helps you guys out.

Im wondering if we're all going to start together. The guy who checked my docs was saying he was recruited through interview and it was just him on his own who started but it won't be as scary for us as there are a few people starting all at once? I didn't get a provisional offer until August and I know there were quite a few other people who took all their docs in on the same day as me so maybe they're pushing the last few people's checks now and will give formal offers/start dates once they're done.

Who knows! This whole process has been a whole lot of not knowing haha!

I got provisional in July

Checks complete 6 weeks later

Formal offer 2 weeks after that

Due to start 10th October and I'm hoping some over people get start dates soon since I don't want to be the only new person

it has been a very very long process to be honest with you mate. In july got an email saying that the vacancy holder will contract me shortly for one additional docs it took about two and half week beofre i finally got someone to help , by sending email to all dept asking for help .

well someone in the room was saying the starting date should be oct/nov . let hope so mate. have been waiting fro 2 long , all my mate that got other jobs like kpmg, ey ,pwc etc has start 2 weeks ago .

I just want to start my own job even thou is not graduate at the moment . the pay is better than the most graduate jobs that my mate got .


well fingerscrossed let hope for the better next week

yeah the thought of it being better paid than most entry jobs is whats keeping me sane in all this haha!
When your DBS certificate came through, did hmrc request it from you or do you just have to send it to them? When i filed it it, it said it had to be sent to them within 7 days receiving it, but never said how or where to send...
