I also got my got my email on the 4th April placed on the reserve list for 12months. I applied to Manchester. I interviewed end of Feb. Seems like everybody is being placed on the reserve list for the bigger airport I think it’s to do with their financial funding for 2019/2020.

I’m just curious if anyone has been given a job offer or has everyone been put on reserve?

From what I can make out everyone is on reserve, certainly those that interviewed this year!

I think certain things such as Brexit outcome and yearly budget have played a part in the resource planning

Really doesn’t make much sense as to why hold such lengthy interviews if there are no jobs?

All he said is he thinks that once Brexit is sorted he thinks I will be offered a job. Didn’t probe any further.

I'm itching to get moving and become part of this. I'm going to get past this reserve list stuff even if it kills me.

Civil service cancelled the no deal Brexit office today- with that goes any chance of these jobs coming off. Put simply open borders continue and no need for any!

The Govt had a special office set up to deal with the issues surrounding a no deal Brexit ie Borders part of it. Theyve effectivley wasted 2 Billion in preparation as the Government today announced the office was closing as it wasnt needed. In effect its going to be Mays deal or no Brexit- either way we stay in the EU whatever lies the Government tell . Along with that unfortunately for us they wont need to expand the Border force as nothing is changing. I hope im wrong as i put a lot of effort into the application but i doubt it !

There is an ad for Border Force Assistant officers but it’s non operational, it’s a different role. It’s in the command and control unit, only 3 posts and temp for 2 years

Hi all

I am slightly confused, I was put on the reserve list for 12 month in April. Today I got an email for a provisional offer, post is located in at Edinburgh airport. I never put Edinburgh as my first preferred location, it was Manchester then Liverpool. Anybody had something similar or any offers for Manchester.
