Hi I start in Liverpool on 31st July, feel like other than the address I haven’t actually been given any info yet eg time I need to be there, if all 5 days in the first week will be in the office etc. does anyone else who’s started already in Liverpool have any insight please ?


In the same boat but different location. Haven't had any emails or instructions.. Will most likely give them a call towards the end of next week if I haven't heard anything

Same I’ve had one email saying I will receive my laptop a week before my start date but that’s about it. I like to be prepared and it’s making me feel not very organised !

We all collect from the office now, they have it delivered for your first day, you order any other equipment you need when you start such as monitor, desk etc
I started on Monday

Think you're expected to start at the bottom of the salary listed even if you were earning more previously

Hello,

So I got my security clearance through on Thursday, but my pre employment checks are currently saying that the pre employment checks are completed, but my additional employment checks are in progress still. Anybody have a rough idea from this point how long left?
Feel like it’s been forever and a day since I applied!

Hi there!

I know that I waited a week after for everything else to be checked and go through!

If you're already a civil servant you will retain your current salary if you're transferring at the same grade. It's unlikely you'll get put higher up the scale if you're not already a civil servant.

They say smart casual but in my office they all wear trainers and jeans. I wore trousers the first day and jeans since
