Having said that, the file you linked has provided an insight into duties that would be relevant to this campaign! So it is extremely beneficial! More importantly, you have gone to the trouble of trying to help me. So thank you very much! That in itself is extremely appreciated!

They only became PCOs (prison clerical officers) in the last 3 years or so. They were Prison Administration and Support Officers before that 😊
Ah but the grades were always in the following structure....
Prison Administration Clerical Officer/Prison Administration Executive Officer etc. They have always been knows as CO's just slight different variations down the years. Then recently they decided to make it more uniform by callaing thm PCO/PEO/PHEO etc.
They were prison administration and support officer 3 also known as PASO 3 then PASO 2 was an EO and PASO 1 was a HEO, then it changed to prison administration clerical officer (PACO) and then it changed to prison clerical officer..they just can’t make their mind up 🙈
Which prison do you work in? 😍
Yeah they probably will change it again soon enough haha
Has anyone heard anything lately? I'm losing hope.
I haven't even got interview results. I wonder should I email!? 🤔
I get this process can be slow, but this is serious..
I interviewed in the last week of may too but have heard nothing at all.
Well come to boards! Ah! good to hear that I'm not on my own!
edit: I might just drop them an email in the next week or so! I'm just really eager to find out how it went..
Has anyone heard anything? I interviewed on the 10th of August so seem to be much later than a lot of people in this round
Ah okay! I didn't realise that they were still interviewing by the 10th of August! That would explain the delay! I had intended to email them, although I never got around to it! Welcome to boards by the way!
I still heard no news, I know no paso's in training so I assume none selected yet but surely if panel expiring soon they must make a decision its a massive wait time though just for interview decision
Yeah, someone said that the panel was expiring in October earlier in the thread. I agree it is a long oul wait, but if you were interviewed on the 10th of August, that's only 3 weeks and 3 days. It will be interesting to see what this month brings!
The suspense got too much for me last night and I emailed them. Got no reply yet though..
