Executive Officer Bootle Asylum Decision Maker

I’m not saying what I said from thin air. I just feel I wish I had been given this advice or insight before I took the role.

I can hand on heart say I’ve never heard a single individual state the job was fantastic bar yourself. There is an intake for every month up until March 2022 just purely from the amount of staff that have left the department. It’s statistically one of the highest turnover jobs in the Home Office.

I have experienced first hand many hard working people either go off with stress or leave the role. I have also managed decision makers and the pressure put on team leaders to grind stats out of decision makers is frankly disgusting.

I wish the best to the thread creator etc but would give the same type of advice to anybody looking to enter this type of role.

Anybody please feel free to inbox me with any questions.

Don’t do it! No job is worth being treated like you don’t matter. They give you warnings like they’re sweets and don’t care for your mental well-being one bit. If you ever have an issue or concern, trust me when I say they’ll take no responsibility and make YOU the issue. Do not work in this department. It’s literally crushed who I am as a person.

Complete opposite from my experience working in asylum. I was in Belfast though.

Hi i am due to start my role in belfast fairly soon. How did you find working in the belfast office? Ive seen some pretty grim reviews on here

I know this is an old post, but I’ve just accepted a provisional offer as an asylum Decision Maker after being on the reserve list since April. Whereabouts is the Bootle office? I live in Bootle so it would be very handy!

I’ve worked in the office at Liverpool.
I m not saying this for no reason as I’ve gone on to become a HEO with a couple of examples from DM role.

However in all honesty the job will destroy you. If you’ve got any other job offers, take them.
