I've just had an email offering me a re at the furthest possible location away from me and only for a fixed term of 12 months. It gives me the option to accept or respond saying I'm waiting for a preferred location. I know I'm being made redundant but it'd cost me a fortune to get to this location. I wasn't aware this was just for a 12 month fixed term post either 😕

I've just spoken to the recruitment team. It's definitely 12 months fixed. I just didn't see that, my mistake. There's no vacancies at all on the Wirral (my location) and only two locations in Liverpool so it's basically a take it or leave it situation. I know it's a job but it's far from what I was hoping for. A real shame. I hope you both have better luck!

Hey! I’ve had an email also, I wanted Wirral as that’s where I am too but have been offered a Liverpool city centre location but have to temporarily work in Huyton which is quite a while away but I’m accepting anyway. Hopefully can move once we’re in there maybe? It is fixed term yes unfortunately but once your in the civil service it’s easy to move around departments like I have done.

Thank you. Will keep everything crossed for you!
Congratulations to you all! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Looks like we'll all be based at the same place 🙂 Very relieved that working from home is available. I'm pretty much on the border of Cheshire so it would have been a very long commute.

@l3henry I have my fingers crossed that you hear something very very soon!

No not heard anything yet. Ive told them I need to give 3 months notice but if it jeopardises the job offer I will see if I can leave early. I hope we hear something this week. Do you need to give notice to a job?
