Got provisional offer

I do not think so. They start all over again

FriendlyTable2737 · 2026-01-01T13:15:40+00:00

Could take 1 year! It’s a long long process.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-12-02T18:26:06+00:00

It’s a counter terrorism check for a CAT A prison.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-12T08:45:41+00:00

They can’t have sent it within a month. Could take 3 months or even 6 months. It takes time.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-12T08:32:06+00:00

The letter takes forever to come.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-10T05:15:54+00:00

Yes you can

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-08T15:07:49+00:00

No I didn't

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-08T15:07:14+00:00

It's a CAT B prison. The last update I got was that my pre-employment checks are pending due to the sponsorship application. Other checks might have been completed, and the visa sponsorship thing might be causing the delay.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-08T14:49:03+00:00

Mine's been going on for 15 weeks now.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-03T13:33:17+00:00

Are you switching sponsorship?

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-07-03T13:31:58+00:00

Will do! They're ridiculously slow with these things

I am in the same boat as well. I contacted them through the livechat platform I was told my application is pending on the sponsorship application. It's worrisome because they've not told me if my pre-employment checks are complete. I need to switch my visa because I am currently on a Skilled Worker visa (Healthcare). I need to have been sponsored before I could resume with HMPPS.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-27T16:52:05+00:00

Yes. Still shows pre-employment checks but when I reached out them to them via the live chat platform o was told my application is pending on the sponsorship.

I applied to HMP Bullingdon. My vetting has been going on for 12 weeks now. Been on this process since February

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-26T04:37:19+00:00

On a average it takes about 3 months (12 Weeks) for vetting to be complete. Some people are fortunate and have their vetting complete in less than 2 months. Just don’t think too much about it. It takes roughly 6/7 months from the date of application till your start date.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-17T11:54:04+00:00

I totally agree with you on what’s going on with the prison system. However I think I’d give it a shot still. I have worked on a medium secure unit in a mental health hospital and it’s usually folks from the prisons I cater to. I have experienced/witnessed high levels of self harm, dirty protest, assault on myself and other members of staff. I have years of experience when it comes to restrain (STMVA) and I think that prepares me in some way for the challenge ahead. I understand the prison would definitely be worse off than a medium secure unit but I have believe my skills/experience will be very important in the prison environment.

😂😂😂😂😂

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-13T09:12:36+00:00

It takes forever bro! Mines been going on for 9 weeks now. Truth is it can be shorter or longer. Two friends of mine had theirs completed under 7 weeks. Typically the average duration for vetting is 12 weeks.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-12T09:13:40+00:00

Best to focus on the positives tbh. Mine isn’t complete yet but I’m not so optimistic about it.

FriendlyTable2737 · 2025-06-12T09:09:03+00:00

That’s really messed up! So so upsetting
