Yes, I had my interview in February. Yesterday I was informed I am on the reserve lists until November for both the regular and apprenticeship positions.


I applied for North April last year, put on the reserve list in the September, Provisional offer in March this year, Security checks completed by June, August - awaiting start date. Still haven't been contacted for a start date! No one seems to know anything when intake dates are etc keep getting the same message that when dates become available I will be contacted. Frustrating to say the least

Congratulations, can i ask you, after confirming a start day, how long did you wait for the formal offer letter?
Did anyone find the interview rather different to other interviews? I’ve no idea how it went , I know I rambled quite a bit..

It took a few weeks, my patience has been tested throughout the process 🤣
Does anyone know how long it it is from conditional offer to getting a start date?

Hi I’m currently filling out my PST Health questionnaire and it’s asking for a job advert reference number? But I’ve looked in the advert and there’s no reference number. I applied through the home office website in April. Can anyone help?

Hi, I was in the same position and could not find a reference number, as I was on the merit list for 14 months, before being offered a provisional position.

I contacted the recruitment team email and they were able to send me my number.
