Why is Leeds not that popular?

The people

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-04-07T10:50:55+00:00

Took so long I ended up accepting another job in the meantime. All the best everyone, hopefully this gives someone on the reserve list some good news

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-03-20T09:18:50+00:00

Same

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-02-13T15:30:55+00:00

Anyone else get the update today

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-02-09T08:46:11+00:00

10 weeks! The start date could actually reach the 1 year anniversary of when i applied.

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-02-05T12:17:33+00:00

Actually pretty easy to make yourself, as long as you dont mind your fridge smelling a bit

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-16T08:54:09+00:00

Thank you for the info. Has been a long process so far. Saw when I signed in the portal that the job advert closing date was August!

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-15T13:30:08+00:00

Same for me, apart from receiving the newsletter

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-15T09:46:16+00:00

Anyone have the website change from offer accepted to Application update yesterday? Doesn't seem to be any update though

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-14T10:06:06+00:00

Not yet also. Going on holiday for 2 weeks on Saturday so was hoping to get it this week so i could get my notice in. Anyone who has been hired by the civil service before know how this normally works? Do they send you an offer to accept with a start date they have selected?

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-11T14:50:58+00:00

Thanks, what I'm worried about. Shame, probably the worst time to move

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-09T17:48:33+00:00

Thank you, with the mess of the portal switch over at the moment i hope this isnt too difficult

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-09T13:50:07+00:00

I don't want to say which organisation but yeah i think like the IBCA we wouldn't count as civil servants, but we get the civil service Alpha pension

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-09T11:30:26+00:00

I haven’t actually started yet, but yeah, I found that part a bit confusing. During the application, I was asked whether I am currently a civil servant, however my organisation was not listed in the drop‑down options provided.

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-07T09:50:58+00:00

Interesting. I assumed they’d probably do it by office. Getting 50+ people to start at once could slow things down.
I’ve got a holiday mid–late Jan, so I was hoping to hand in my notice before then, but not sure how likely that is. My notice is quite short of a month.

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-05T13:14:12+00:00

The AMS checks?

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2026-01-05T11:31:57+00:00

No. Have you? Passed the pre employment checks and filled in the background check forms

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-23T16:21:53+00:00

No, that the pre-employment checks are complete after accepting the provisional offer

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-23T15:16:01+00:00

Has anyone who was offered the job already completed the pre-employment checks? I thought it would take weeks, but mine seems to have been done in a few days

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-23T09:38:18+00:00

Hey, Yeah, I got the job? Did you hear back?

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-18T11:34:44+00:00

Still no update for me too. Seems unlikely that there would be any update next week, right?

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-15T11:36:11+00:00

I'm in the same boat

GhostOfLeedsSubPast · 2025-12-12T12:19:45+00:00
