Applied back in Nov 2018 only. granted a provisional offer. waiting on Security Clearance now.
Apply for as many posts as you can.
There is no harm in multiple applications.

I'll apply for the new advertised job too. As you say, no harm in multiple applications.
Hopefully the SC wont take long for you mate

Hi guys, on Monday I received a provisional offer for Harwich and the next day I got an email saying I hadn't provided sufficient ID to satisfy their checks. Looking through this thread I see a few others also had the same email regarding sufficient ID. Did you guys email them back and ask which documents you needed or should I wait for them to email me?

I personally wouldn't wait mate, I would contact them back asap. I know a few on here needed to resend information off and had video calls.

Don't run the risk of your application being withdrawn.

Yup email them back. They list my ID from interview. I had to resubmit everything

That sounds so frustrating. When you resubmitted did you have to send documents by email or post and following that, was it a difficult process to get it all sorted?

Aw I feel for you! I had to resubmit a bank statement as my last was outdated. Email them back and ask what they want. They weren’t too bad with me just keep chasing them up, they’ll verify it all via a video call probably, you just send them a photo of the id over email and they contact you about a video call slot. I hope you get it sorted!

Emailed required Documents, then had a video call to view and confirm them. Was painless in the end, just frustrating and time consuming.

Not yet, the only pre-employment check I'm waiting for is "that the required level of security clearance has been obtained" but I haven't been sent anything for that yet. How are you getting along?

I have had my security clearance come thru from the vetting portal.
But on the .gov site it still says the same as you
" Waiting for the required level ......."
I emailed the other day and was told it can take up to 40 working days for them to update site.
I was hoping with covid restrictions reducing thinks may have started moving...

I applied back in 2018, didn't hear anything till the other day saying that that I have met the required standard at the sift stage of recruitment. And that Ill be invited to an interview when positions become available at my chosen location.

Anyone else applied for teessport and heard anything else?

I applied for the apprenticeship role in August and I got a provision offer on the 23rd March this year. The officer role (frontline) that I applied for at the same time has only just been sifted and I got the same email as you the other week
