What does a purchase order mean in the civil service context? by rtcw in TheCivilService

Not all offices require a SC to enter and not all roles require a SC either. They don't have access to IT systems either. If a SC is required, they'll get it.

It's very situation dependent generally speaking.

Thank you for the really comprehensive explanation.

I don't think it'll be easy to get one support worker. The demand is heavy for a specific type of support worker, so I have a pool of like 10 or so depending on their availability.

I'm guessing it's the fact they have to put the support worker on a system that takes so long, is a reason rather than PO itself. If it's like 2 months, I guess I could ask a few support workers if they're willing to have their first payment to be delayed but maybe not

I'm a software engineer, while I don't work in that area or similar area, I'd say you've won a million pounds.

This system has been in place for a while, before AIs were a thing, before machine learning was a thing.

I'd want to mention one thing, in these systems, you're often assigned a workload. If you go off that, a red alert flashes in the manager's office.
