Thank you for all the info.
Last question how much salary they offer you in Heathrow ?
Job advertisements is little confusing.
It says salary range from 20,001 to £30,001 to £40,000
Then says salary minimum £29,750
Salary maximum £31,950
Annualised hours allowance is 35 to 40% of salary which equates to an additional £10,412- £11,900.
Not sure are they going to offer minimum or maximum which is £31,950?

U passed the interview. Probably u have done well in oac that’s why u got the email very next day.. Next step is the provisional offer based on merit list then the pre employment checks starts which will take months. So be patient and wait for their email.

What campaign is this for is this the video recording interviews in February externally

Hi there.
I have done my video interview.
Very next day received an email saying We would like to inform you that you have been successful in passing your online assessment centre and that your application will be progressed onto the next stage.

Following your online assessment centre, we have provided the below feedback on your assessment:

Interview

The interview was assessed against several strengths which have been identified as important for success as a Border Force Officer. We are unable to provide feedback on the strengths part of the interview or provide details on the strengths we assessed you against as we were looking for your natural first responses to these.


We will now review your outcome and will notify you of the next steps shortly.”
Really don’t know what is next?
Are they going to offer the job?
Or they can still put me on reserve list?
Any one had experience like this?
I am so stressed!Really want to get this job😌

Hi, This is the exact same stage I am on too. Can someone please clarify what happens from here next?
What exactly is this? Are we all on a reserve List?

Hello, I am in the same situation, I got the email saying I was successful day after my OAC, they said we will be in touch shortly, what happens from here onwards? How long will I wait? Do you know how much they score us out of? I am very stressed and confused how the process is. Is there a chance of me not getting the role, I passed all stages included interview OAC.

Hi, When exactly did you have your OAC? What date? And when did you hear back from them.

Also, when did you do the writing assessment? Please state me dates as it will help me understand how they do the recuritments timeline batches.

If ur campaign is done by sscl they don’t give u any score. They won’t reply for any emails. All they wait, they don’t have time frame.. it’s a very long process. I am really not sure how long they take. But u got to wait for ur provisional offer as u passed oac

Amazing!! Was that for border force? I got put on the reserve list for immigration enforcement until August this year. I’ve kind of just accepted I won’t get that though after reading a few of these forums and people saying they never hear from them. Good luck to you :smile:

If u r for heathrow, the salary is £29750 and when I enquired the person of contact they said Heathrow the AHW would be 37%. But they didnt mention AHW rates in contract as its subject to change.
