Medical for Clerical Officer

sutfol

Has anyone had a medical for clerical officer. What does it involve? I have passed my interview. I have asthma and also my physical fitness isn't great. I am wondering if both of these will go against me.

Were you told you'd have to take one? I've never heard of anyone having to take a medical for the role

sutfol

No but I automatically assumed I would have to take one. I'm sure I saw it mentioned on the council website but maybe I'm incorrect.

Maybe a medical for a specialised CO but not in general

I know I went for CO with county council and medical was compulsory. I nearly failed on my hearing. Didnt take the job in the end

Thank you. I was sure I'd seen something about a medical. What did the medical involve? I'm asthmatic so am worried I will fail based on that...

Mr lebowski

Yea I done a medical for the council. You have to pay for it and they reimburse you. There's a urine test some general physical tests and eye sight and a hearing test. I don't see you failing because of asthma.

It's nothing too strenuous.

As above, checked blood pressure, chest/heart, hearing test, few medical questions etc. Wasnt required when I joined civil service

Thanks everyone. It sounds straight forwar. I haven't ever done a medical for previous jobs so wasn't sure what it involved. I'd visions of having to run on a treadmill or something 🙈

Has anybody experienced getting a police report from Germany? I'm non German but worked there for a year. The embassy's website is really hurting my head.

Copy pasting below some of the part of the application form that I'm unsure of. Not sure which one I need, and if it's the second option would the email I received requesting police clearance suffice?

its a basic medical, fill out form with questions related to your health any major issues or illnesses, do you smoke, drink etc, a physical examination, standard stuff that if you got a checkup at the GP really, wouldn't be worrying about it at all.
