Mobile Border Force 2018

I was provisionally offered RTF for Edinburgh recently but the timescales for PRe Emp checks aren't given but they are short....very short.
My offer came on 15th aug and i was expecting info for checks soon after.
Email on 11th sept saying as pre emp werent concluded they could no longer offer the RTF but could offers static!

I accepted that new offer and pre emp forms/email came through thurs last week.

I completed these and sent them back.

Others have said it can be 2wks before these are done then the Security clearance info is given to you. Which can take time in itself to be concluded....then a formal offer is given to you....then training.
Some parts of the Pre Emp checks rely on your HR department completing some details.

Whilst i am HMRC employed i have doubts as to the speed they may take to their part.

Training for RTF was supposed to be 14wks but i dont know how long static training is. I only know its shorter.

14 wks only applies to RTF (mobile operatives)

OMG - I applied for this last year, and was put on the reserve list. I'd totally given up all hope of hearing anything, particularly after the other local jobs were put on hold (Belfast).

Anyway, I got a phone call today asking if I'm still interested and to expect a letter in a couple of weeks!!

I'm trying not to get too excited (and certainly not handing in my notice anywhere), but feel as though there might be a bit of hope.....

Anyone else for Belfast get a phone call today?

Same happened to me a few weeks ago! Except I didn’t receive a phone call mine came in the form of an email.

I am still waiting on being sent the forms for the security checks and next steps but I am so happy that I got it!

Mine is a static post though not mobile

Lets hope they get the pre employment checks done very quick or you may find the offer for mobile is rescinded and static is offered instead. Its happened to me and someone else here.

Best of luck though

If I pass (!) I will graduate 3 weeks on Friday and have exactly the same feelings about leaving the hotel and starting work. Would also be interested to know about mentoring

It is challenging and I would never take it for granted that I’ll pass but I would hope to!
