Home Office - Asylum Decision Maker (EO)

It was fairly standard have you had any of the following medical conditions then tick yes or no. Then they want details of condition medication and how you are now. It seems to repeat a lot. I hope providing it doesn't affect your ability to do your job then it should be fine.

Yes they did, no time off is allowed during training so you'd need to either move your start date or give up whatever plans you had. They do also ask for prebooked holidays there after.

I won’t be able to start until September then as I have two pre booked holidays; one in July and one in August. I had to book them for these times because I have kids. I could also really do with chatting to someone from the Solihull office and just confirming a few things because I think their systems of working have changed recently and I want to know shift patterns etc. I also really would like to receive some sort of document telling me more in depth information about the role now we’ve got this far. I feel like we still know next to nothing about what our day to day workload will consist of! Anyone else feel the same?

Yep. I feel the same I can start beginning of May or June. If I'm not in post by then it's going to be Sept too because of the school Holidays.
You talk about shift patterns... I was led to believe its pretty much 9-5? Has this changed?
I have also been offered Solihull. I am not prepared to work evenings or weekends?

So frustrating, isn't it?

I believe it's between 7am - 7pm, core hours are 10-3 but again nothing has been clarified. If they provided an example of shift patterns it would help

Sorry shift pattern probably isn’t the right term, I mean how often we can actually work from home and whether this could change last minute and what the repercussions of this would be. I have 3 young children so can’t really change plans last minute and I wish it was all a bit more set in stone what was expected of us!

Had my provisional offer today for the Bootle and Liverpool offices, only had my OAC yesterday! Can you accept both does anyone know?

Me too two young children, that's why I was concerned when you said shifts. I rely on my husband for childcare, so it would be nice if I could drop or pick the kids on occasion but I can't say I will then can't last minute because it would throw his hours out. I wonder if there is a possibility of working four long days to have an extra day off? (Could really help with school holidays).

What do the security checks involve? I have looked in the website but its nit very clear . Is it police / financial type stuff ? Is it just the person applying or do the go into family as well ?
Thanks

I’d like to do 4 longer days too I think. Maybe not every single week but sometimes. I just hope it’s as flexible as they have advertised!

I was offered both , accepted Liverpool. Not sure if u can accept both 🤔

I am very confused for the CTC scan as I have been living in the uk since 2016 , only time I left uk for more than 6months was during 2020 due to covid outbreak i gotta go back to my home country. But tdy they replied saying I did not comply with the residency eligibility and decline my offer. Anyone has same problem

Anyone had work references contacted yet ? It all seems very drawn out .
