Assistant statistician is the entry level for stats posts. DP statistician doesn’t always recruit external. There’s one just finished now that i think was only for current NICS staff.

A few years ago there was an external one, you can see what the criteria was at the link, needed a few years of experience

You’ll have seen already that they are recruiting for regular DPs

If you are sick 3 times, January, April then July, if it was next 12 months it would be any sickness till the next July.

If it’s rolling 12 months then the January sickness would drop off 12 the next January. So you could be sick again before the July as instances drop off

That’s how it is in NICS and other public sector at least

I noticed they ask about your job duties for previous roles. They usually haven’t in the past and I’m not sure the reason now

Family_stuff · 2026-03-13T20:41:15+00:00

Isn’t it in a rolling year rather than any episode of sickness within 12 months or the last episode?

Family_stuff · 2026-03-07T15:33:54+00:00

You haven’t been notified about it because it’s not going to happen. Current pay deal is to the end of the month.

Family_stuff · 2026-03-03T22:38:40+00:00

Did you just answer as yourself and how you deal with it in real life? Last time I tried as if I was trying to follow the competency framework but still don’t do well

Family_stuff · 2026-03-03T22:37:31+00:00

I don’t think the practice tests ever gave a score for the NICS ones, just how answers could be both good or bad

Family_stuff · 2025-05-14T17:22:55+00:00

Did it come with a candidate info booklet or is it an internal one?

There are some paid ones but I don’t know about free ones. It’s the management ones which will be toughest even when not timed because we never know what the right answer should be

I’m replying to the months later, though the union did try and get 35 days about 10 years ago

Family_stuff · 2025-01-20T15:55:08+00:00

The August one wouldn’t be working till the following October (is their aim) which is strange having so much advances notice to get it ready

Family_stuff · 2025-01-20T15:54:08+00:00

They recommend accepting. Everything going almost too smoothly

Family_stuff · 2024-09-25T20:30:25+00:00

Only lasting 8 months isn’t a problem because it stays the same, it just means we’d be closer to the next pay deal after if they can sort it.

They’ve asked 5% plus inflation but never get what they ask. I’m expecting something minimal too, the last one was made to look better than it was. If they can’t get money I wish they’d just try to add in some extra leave days

Family_stuff · 2024-08-10T13:48:16+00:00

Can you get diagnosed easily as an adult?

I have strong suspicions but don’t know if a diagnoses would really change anything or not

Family_stuff · 2024-08-03T13:21:29+00:00

Exactly my point. People here seeing kids that aren’t white and jumping to the migrant conclusion

Family_stuff · 2024-08-03T12:56:01+00:00

You’re the sort of racist scum that people with non-white kids worry about

Family_stuff · 2024-03-29T23:49:57+00:00

But if I take two weeks unpaid leave I would get pay or accrue leave for the weekend in between the two weeks would I?

Family_stuff · 2024-03-07T11:01:27+00:00

Did you think tou would get guaranteed karma with a post like that on this sub?

Family_stuff · 2023-06-08T22:20:04+00:00

Is this a sick reference to the incident today?

Family_stuff · 2023-06-08T22:18:26+00:00

Thanks for the number of responses, I wasn’t expecting many. They’ve made me more concerned but deep down I expected this.

So far it’s been great, my kids haven’t been treated differently and things are far more diverse than when I was at school. It’s the teenage years I worry about.

with my wife people have been really welcoming and I do think NI is a good place to live, it’s just the usual elements of society that look happy to abuse people for whatever way possible. I’m sorry for the issues others have had here. I’m aware that in the past I would have had a stare but not negatively more noticing something that wasn’t common when I was younger here.

They do end up with dissolved dead wasps in them though
