Not yet. I kept asking for the tutorial days as my husband needs to set his working from home days to fit in with mine for childcare. But the last response I had was that they don’t decide that until after we start, maybe even October! I’m just planning to keep things flexible until we know.

Thanks for this, that's useful to know. At what point were you allowed to start working from home?

From the day after the induction. There was not enough desks for us all at the time. I think we went in to the office in the October about the same as the tutorials started.

This was only my office though. Other offices may have been more strict.

Hi Jasmin and congratulations!

I received the custom's policy officer role as well last week on my personal email and had about 2 days to send a response across which I said I will be happy to accept. I was wondering if you had heard anything further at this point as I have not received anything after sending my response email to accept the role?

Congrats on accepting your new role.

I have been advised that there are some delays within the government recruitment services who manage the applications and hence I should hopefully receive a provisional offer together with their requirements next week.

Hello! I’m also looking to apply for 2024, the TSP page still shows info about 2023, and there’s nothing on CS jobs search.. does anyone know what the process is for applying? Do we wait for a link or a job listing on CS page?

It'll be listed on civil service jobs I'd imagine quite soon

Unsure what I scored at VI but I was on the tax specialist programme reserve list for Stratford. I was offered a place in Croydon but had to decline.

Just got an email saying no reserve places left for TSP but will be considered for HO Policy roles - I'd love that, does anyone know if there's ever any policy roles in Bristol? I've only ever seen compliance!

Original post by Kingal

I’ve had the same e-mail. I’m Liverpool based so not sure if that would affect my chances.

I’ve responded and asked if there are any timescales regarding when the offers may go out so I’ll keep you posted.

I got the same email (HO Tax Policy) vague but still good to receive something. I'm Newcastle

What did you 3 score at VI?

Original post by 9875

I got the HO email. I passed video interview with 38/40 but didn't even get on the reserve list after the assessment centre. I was down for Belfast (were there were very few TSP spaces) so I'm not sure if that affected my chances. If these HO roles are based on VI scores then I might get one - but if it's based on AC scores then everyone else who got reserve list should be ahead of me on the merit list, surely...?

Did you get offered a HO role yet? Seems like people who scored 35 in VI regardless of whether going to AC got offered the HO role at Stratford unsure about other locations. Would be interesting to hear about what other people got at VI, AC etc and got offered roles in different locations.

I scored 40 in the VI and did not make the reserve list from the AC. I've had the email outlining the possibility of HO policy roles but no offer.
