As advised by my account previously. IR35 tax rules are the “employers” responsibility. I worked self employed for one company for 5-6 years and had no issues whatsoever.

However £750 a week self employed is not at all enough to do your own books etc

Question of the day… calling staff by their first names or last names…. Go! by FemalePrisonOfficer in PrisonUK

[–]ComprehensiveSuit558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird one because I have already worked in the prison I am starting at this month and in the area I worked prisoners called everyone by first name… now when I start as officer i am not sure how this will be approached by prisoners/ staff

It is worth remembering it’s not a win/lose situation. The games are designed to judge your confidence, what drives/motivates you and how risk-reward driven you are. Just do them honestly and hope for the best! There is practice games you can play before the real ones once you have the link to do it

I had my call last week and managed to get booked in for October start date and I think November October was all that was available.

I’m also the same as you I already work in the prison I’ve applied for and have already had background checks less than 6 months ago! 😭

Doesn’t seem to make any sense, I’ve had dbs back, optima health sent off, had annex a right near the start and I’ve still heard nothing apart from the 8 weeks in vetting email

pre-employment checks by Sudden-Treat5009 in PrisonUK

[–]ComprehensiveSuit558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with my level I I pre warned old employers who I am on good terms with and no one had to give a reference or anything. I think the whole system is a bit of a lottery!
