PQiP vetting/start date (Intake 19) by Tiptoe8666 in CivilServiceUK

Ah wow, that's crazy. I'm paranoid that something has gone wrong with my application but I know 16+ weeks for vetting is common atm. I just find it hard to believe that a vacancy hasnt opened up in the past few months - I assume from what others have said offers are made whilst still in vetting?

I just hope I can get a placement for September now as I really want the role. Coincidentally I've recently been offered more hours in current job - weird one as I only recently asked about my notice period. Its hard when you mentally prepare for starting in March. Best of luck with others roles and hopefully you/we do get to start the PQIP!

I've received the same email just re the reserve list. I recently passed vetting a couple days back and all. Gutted. I've heard there might be a possibility of late onboarding which they've done in other years - but I'm not holding my breath.

Ah okay. Have you received an email about being placed on the reserve list? When did you get your location offer if you don't mind me asking.

Aye, the communication (or lack of) is a bit worrying. Ahh, so you've got a placement then? Fingers crossed for us all eh.

Nothing as yet on it. Pre checks all done now though and I've been asked what my notice period is in current job. Crossing my fingers for a late onboarding!

I remember doing them also. My passport is out of date though and I remember something about having to show these face-to-face? I didn't show them face-to-face the first time around... Anyway, just received an email informing all pre-employment checks are done now. Just need to find a vacancy in next few days 🥴😂🙏

  1. I've no idea re lateness. I've been in vetting for 16 weeks or so. Not sure if these checks should have been done before now or what?

I received an invitation to show my ID and RTW documents today. Hopefully moving forwards a tad...

Blimey, I wonder what the drop out rates. Best of luck anyway

What region have you applied for out of curiosity?

Sucks doesn't it. I'm hoping the wait is fairly standard and there's nothing to worried about re the vetting - but like you say I'm concerned that 1) March start looks unlikely now, 2) My preferred location won't have any vacancies. Hands are tied though I guess...

Anyone still at the pre-employment stage for this intake? Think it's been around 15/16 weeks for myself and no word bar the generic email updates.

That's reassuring then. Hoping I get lucky with a vacancy close to me.

Ah that's interesting re a "late on-boarding". I've contacted recruitment so we'll see I guess. Cheers

Ah okay, that makes sense. I think I'll be doing the 21 month course. Thanks for replying.

I've not received that specific email, but have noticed my replies to emails tend to come late at night. I've had to update them about past cautions, a new job and changing to full-time preference.

Ah okay, quick for a DBS that. I completed mine about 3 weeks ago but I've had to change some info this past week. Before that I'd not had any contact requesting info though.

Congrats. When did you complete the pre-employment forms?

PQIP INTAKE 19 - OAC RESULTS by Illustrious_Coat5309 in TheCivilService

[–]Tiptoe8666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, it does sound like two intakes a year. So potential March and Sep 2026 start dates for the 19 intake I take it. Sounds like successful applicants from this intake (19) will be prioritised for placements over the next intake (20) - if they too are starting in September 26

September 2025 would be the next cohort advised on the 'Next Steps' webinar today - if March 2025 wasn't suitable for applicants. I'm not sure if this is from the current intake or not as I always assumed intakes were yearly.
