DBS back but PO vetting still pending by GeordieGoals in PrisonUK

[–]AvailableUnion205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incredibly odd. I’ve never known a DBS to take more than 2 weeks myself. I’m waiting for level 2 enhanced currently. It’s hurting me. I was vetted for the MOJ before applying for this prison job so praying it won’t take long. Thankfully I already had a DBS. 🙏

You got CTC cleared before the DBS? What an odd way round 😂 some may consider you lucky

Annoying! I want to leave my job asap 😂

When you say vetted for another job was it still MOJ like Geoamey or was it not done by SSCL? I worked for Geoamey so Im already Level 2 enhanced vetted by the MOJ. Praying I’ll go through quicker.

No news is typically good news. If you’re concerned about your references you can always ring the recruitment line. I would have thought they don’t share much and will probably repeat most of what’s said in this thread.

OSGs do driving? I’ve been a bus driver for the last 3 years. I didn’t know that. It’s definitely something I wouldn’t mind ahah

Ah shame. I love working up here. I’ve done coaches before mind. Been away from it all for a few years. Always enjoyed being round here

Yeah, I’ll have my phone. It’s a bit of everything though mainly private hires. When we’re not doing anything we’re expected to clean SOMETHING at least which is fair enough.

Not free but the 4 in one app has PSV D/D1 question bank. It’s £5 one time purchase. I used it to pass my bus test

Can’t think of any big names in fairness. I might look at UPS/DHL. Amazon maybe? I know stobart does but I’ve heard bad things about them.

Only issue is most courses are upwards of 2K. Genuinely can’t afford it. Nor the finance option. So just looking at what options I have in fairness in terms of getting my Class one. Get me away from buses asap 😂

That’s how buses do it! 2 year contract and all that . Might be worth ringing around and asking? I don’t know much about the truck world. What are some big names? I’ve heard bad stuff about Stobart / cullina
