"Did you get any indication of when your start date might be?"

They did say at the end of October or start of November; however taking everything into account you can assume that Santa Claus will provide us with a handful of tax modules for this Christmas period. I have heard that DBS can take between 6-8 weeks; so mid November is the earliest based upon that.

There is no harm in applying for TSP again; I know it is long and drawn out, but your experience and familiarity with the process should put you and all others on this thread in a much better position.

What Location did you guys put down because i haven't got that yet?

As 'Cal139' has stated (he/she beat me to it) this is the email address I received within the same general notification.
I recommend that if you send it to the address 'bsteam...' just outline clearly the situation (you know just in case)....it may not make a difference but at the bottom of my email it wasnt HMRC Recruitment Team (like yoours ) but CS Resourcing..... it could be that it is a different location etc.

Anyhow you are certainly closer than you were before you received the email, so that is progress .... and should be welcomed!

Would you happen to know when the new TSP application will open?

Band O after not getting TSP last year for London, went and handed in documents yesterday.

Seemed to suggest November at the earliest (realistically) and the qualifications were indeed in house, not external. Location prefs can be changed. The guy I met with (who wasn't part of their HR team, but their ops team who've been made to deal with it) was surprised I'd had Stratford listed as a possibility and that it would be most likely Croydon. When I mentioned Euston would be easier again he said it might be possible and would note that (upon checking the difference in travel time isn't too great, god forbid I get Stratford though) however it was all very non-committal and we're just back to a wait and see approach.

Did you apply to London as well? I might email the address you gave me but indicate that I applied for the London role just to be safe.

Is this for the HEO role? Who told you this start date? Thanks

SLC - I think those guys are talking about a different recruitment drive so i wouldn't worry.

At least you have had the email to complete health/dbs etc .. i am still waiting sadly.

Thanks. Hopefully you get it soon, i think theyre working in order of who responded first to the acceptance so you will probably get yours soon. They are so slow!

I would love a november start date though

No idea, it is usually late Autumn. With the deadline even later. I think they announce it on their facebook page first.

Hey there; pretty much identical situation to me, was it Kevin you spoke to? Are the qualifications unique to HMRC?

Euston would be easier than Croydon for me as well (TBH a 15-20 minute time difference in getting there but perhaps more to do with the 'prestige' of working in central lol), Stratford would be easiest as I would get there in 20 minutes.

Did they dimiss Stratford for you? As you said you had it listed...by that do you mean as a preference or listed specifically in communications sent etc.

Hey,
I've had my references contacted and they've responded, I've sent back Health declaration back and also by DBS check went through this morning. Anyone else up to this point? Just wondering what is next.

I applied for Newcastle only btw!
