HO Compliance Caseworker HMRC

Just got an update on my position for Stratford. I'm 4th of 69, up from 12th of 79 a month ago. I read that as they have recruited ten, and two ahead of me pulled out? So hard to figure!

I interviewed for Liverpool on 22/06 and scored 35, emailed me today to say I’m 3rd of 38 on the list currently. If that’s of any use to anybody!

1 SO went to G7 another went on level transfer the rest were HO promotions. I was told years ago to expect success on promotion every 5 years, obviously this depends on the roles and what competencies you have gained at the next grade up. I have been in for 17 years I started as an AO after uni and have had 5 different band O jobs over the years for me it suited me to stay at that grade because I got married and had a child so I went on a term time contract. But if you work hard there is no reason you can’t move through the ranks.

That's good news. It does keep one's hopes alive. Hopefully you'll receive an offer soon.

I applied and interviewed for both band O and band HO vacancies. Having received feedback from my HO interview last week, I have today received feedback from my O interview. Two days ago, I was advised that I was 13th of 31 on the HO merit list, having scored 34. My O interview feedback scored me at 31 and I would expect that places me quite high on that merit list.

Hypothetically, if I were to receive and accept an offer for the band O role, would my name remain on the merit list for the HO role?

I'm considerably lower down the list than you. So keep us informed if and when u receive an offer.

Hi everyone,

I just got my interview today. Where did you check your scoring from the interview?

DBS sent off today, hoping for things to clear quickly. Verifile seemed pretty on top of things.

To those working in Stratford, are you planning on moving into London, and which areas are you considering? Done a lot of window shopping on Rightmove, great way to fill the waiting time.

Hi everyone,

I just got my interview today. Where did you check your scoring from the interview?

Where do you live? I applied for Birmingham and live in the West Midlands but moved here from London a couple years ago.

I suppose it would mostly depend on how often one would be expected to work from the office post covid. I understand that home working will be set at a minimum of 2 days a week, with any additional WFH being subject to local arrangements. How long are you prepared to commute? To stay local I would consider Stratford, Barking, Walthamstow etc. I lived in South East London and the reasoning for my recommendations in regard to Stratford are influenced by how I would approach the situation if I applied for Croydon. I would want to avoid commuting from one end of the capital to another.

Any idea what is the maximum WFH days someone can ask for? Also, if you are offered a position at Stratford, but live in Birmingham, can you attend and use the Birmingham office? I believe some CS departments do allow such flexibility where an employee of one office can use a more local office nearer to him. Not sure if HMRC allows that.

Home counties, so technically commutable but it's nearing 2 hours each way and I'm very keen to move out. I really don't want to WFH tbh, would much rather be in the office. It's making the flat hunt a lot more difficult because it means my friend and I both need rooms with space for desks. Is it definitely going to be 2 days WFH?

I'm a little nervous about living in Stratford based off its reputation. But it's better value compared to a lot of areas.
