National Crime Agency - Business Support Officer

Hi I feel your pain as I am in the exact same situation. I think the salary has gone up since but I am keen to start the job! No idea why its taking so long I have been waiting for Birmingham since October.

I was told on 7 June that I was successful at interview (for a London role) and have been placed in the candidate pool - finding the wait very frustrating so far! I was also thinking, if they make you wait longer than 6 months, surely they can't expect you to accept the salary the role was originally advertised for (I've already started another 'filler' job for more than the NCA salary)?! Seems a very strange process but I'm so keen to work there! Just v frustrating. Can anyone shed any more light on the process?

Hi, successful in interview for G4 BSM role with a 6 overall score and in candidate pool with everyone else. My options are outside of London. They have peoples / placement meetings on the 12th working day of each month so fingers crossed for those waiting. If anyone has been already been offered any BSM roles from the last campaign that would be interesting to know. Good luck.

Is that for G3 or G4 and is it a manager role? If so maybe it means managers are being recruited before officers.

That is great, I ask for Nottingham first which was ticked green on the application .. long wait probably for me as not a major HUB like London. Well done on your offer

Nothing at all how about you? no nothing at all! They last said early August so we may hear something today but my bet is it will be the same email as every other month. So disappointing it’s really starting to feel like it’s never gone to happen
