I too applied for Belfast and still haven’t heard back. They’re not working within the timeframes that they advised, I’m sure there’s a lot of applications to review

Keeya123, patience is really a big thing within this department during the application stages and trust me, once your're in it doesn't stop there. You will find that communications between departments are not there strongest areas.

I’ve read a few threads on here and as I’m currently working for the police I understand that the process can be very long winded and strung out. The bit that I don’t understand is why on the applicant pack they have bothered with a timeline to say that shortlisting is on the 4th and interviews will take place on the 16th of September. It appears like the whole process actually takes about 12/18 months.....

Your application has met the required standard. We will keep your application on hold for 12 months, and we will contact you as and when further opportunities for your location arise.
Could this be generic you didn’t get it but we will keep you on file kinda thing or just no positions at present 😣

Hi i had interview arranged for 22nd Oct and just got email today cancelling!..
this happened to me before in 2017 because of changes to recruitment strategy apparently. So looks like those who apply for Belfast posts are being let down yet again!

Ive heard nothing since interviews were cancelled. But i believe process normally is very long winded. But it is worth the wait for a good career. Im still trying to stay positive and hope interviews are rescheduled soon.

Did anyone else hear back yesterday? I got the reserve list email. I know someone working in BF and they have confirmed it’s all Brexit related. Wondered if anyone has been offered a role straight away?
