You will receive a formal offer soon, this will tell you your start date. But i'd expect the start date to be the middle of next month or perhaps the start of August. I waited a month between receiving my formal offer and starting my job, I think that is typical for most

I'm already a compliance officer, started 2 years ago. (I had a look through my old emails to see how long it took to go from pre-employment checks complete to starting and it was about a month and a half).
I'm currently waiting for my pre-employment checks (and internal discipline checks 😳) to be completed for this role, it's the next pay-grade up from me (but essentially exactly the same type of work),

I love it, it is very interesting work. can be quite overwhelming at times but the benefits far out-weigh the cons, especially flexi leave which is worth its weight in gold in my opinion

I've got 2 more checks left; pension and any workplace adjustments and I've completed DBS and the health questionnaire. Just curious when did others get asked to complete the CTC check or is that after a formal offer? Thanks in advance 🙂

Had confirmation that the merit list and reserve list are the same. Jolly, given that you are 1/19 you are guaranteed for sure. We just need to wait for them to allocate the jobs out.

Any news on a provisional offer??

Congrats 🥳

I also did, just waiting on PEC. How long do you think it will take for a formal offer?

I also noticed in the conditional offer letter it was a compliance caseworker role, is this the same or a similar position?

Congrats guys, where were you placed on the reserve list? What was your interview score? Does anyone know if the base salary has been changed to what HEOs are currently being advertised at now for HMRC?

I received a start date for July for another HO role. I wanted this role intially and have been sent a provisional offer, has anyone else accepted two offers before and how do you go about it

Anyone know if this role attracts a flexibility payment? It states in the description -

“Commitment to work outside of standard office hours when required, sometimes at short notice.

Entitlement to unsocial hours pay may be allowable if the working hours are considered unsocial by HMRC”.

Did you receive a start date for the compliance officer? If so, don't worry too much as there is not a difference between the compliance and the Tax evasion one..

I received a start date for HO FLM compliance Manger only

How long did it take to get your start date after accepting the provisional offer?

Flexibility payment seems part of the salary paid up front. For the above role it seems from the wording you get paid extra on a discretionary basis.
This is what Flexibility rules are from another role.

Financial investigator HO
Flexibility Payment in Fraud Investigation Service / Risk and Intelligence Service with effect from 1 June 2021

Flexibility Payment
The role for which you’ve applied is eligible for the Flexibility Payment.
The Flexibility Payment is paid to staff, in eligible roles in the Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) and Risk and Intelligence Service (RIS), in return for the level of attendance, contactability and flexibility required by those roles.
The job description of the role for which you’ve applied sets out the level of payment you can expect.
What Flexibility Payment buys
The Flexibility Payment comprises three levels, each of which provides a different type and quantity of flexibility and additional attendance:
Level 1a buys flexibility and contactability
Level 1b buys on-call coverage
Level 2 buys the flexibility and contactability of 1a, the on-call coverage of 1b, plus a specified number of additional hours.

To be honest, I think that candidate pack was constructed before November 2020. The basic payment stated is £30,800 but I’ve been led to believe it is now £33,800? Point being, a lot of info from the candidate pack might be irrelevant now as it’s not up to date. Doesn’t really make sense how a FI would be eligible for FP but not a complex tax investigator that would surely be out in the field often?
