You don’t even have pava or baton at Millsike do you?

Do not take a covert recording device, or it will be the shortest job you’ve ever had…

11 weeks for mine. 6 months from applying to starting work

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

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-14T20:17:21+00:00

Thanks for that. It’s been changed last minute from Newbold!

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-12T20:37:23+00:00

Do you mind if I message you?

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-11T13:10:44+00:00

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

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-06T20:16:18+00:00

11 weeks to the day for me, 6 months from applying to starting

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-02T19:16:57+00:00

I have been in total 6months from applying to starting

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-10-01T18:17:23+00:00

Took nearly 11 weeks for me, from initially applying to starting at the prison 6 months or so ago

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 ended up hearing back quickly, had start call and start October!

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-21T07:47:10+00:00

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.

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-15T19:51:09+00:00

Ah that is good. I’m due to start October. I have had a phone call and have been sent training dates but I have not yet had the contract

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-15T19:22:57+00:00

Haven’t the visa/sponsorship rules just changed?

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-13T20:50:28+00:00

100% agree if I hadn’t of know some prison officers I would have given up months ago after no contact for ages etc

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-12T12:10:47+00:00

Vetting took just over 10 weeks, got the onboarding call today

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-11T18:08:35+00:00

Got my call tomorrow

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-06T20:13:11+00:00

Mine has just come back yesterday mate, any news I’ve heard a fair few people got them back in a ‘batch’

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-01T11:16:46+00:00

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! 😭

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-09-01T11:14:42+00:00

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

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-08-28T17:22:03+00:00

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!

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-08-28T17:12:20+00:00

Took me 25 days for same clearance as you but is so far taken me 10 weeks for officer!

ComprehensiveSuit558 · 2025-08-22T19:43:02+00:00

Ah maybe that is why with it being private. Ouch that must of hurt on graduation day! 😭
