January 2020 Recruitment.

Do we think there will be calls in July for Sept or did someone on here say the next course was October?

If they are doing 50 per course after august you will get calls for October, November time.

@jcm86 well, people who get calls for August intake said next one will be for October. So there is a hope we will be in next one. Fingers crossed and keep me inform please if you hear anything 😬

There was 15 people who withdrawn or fail from further stages.

And 54 who are have been appointed or accepted the offer.

Last figures were on 9th of May so 69 people progressed/fail in over a month time 🤷‍♀️

@lornzeo99 we are next 😎😂

I didn't get to listen as stuck in work, bleak as in not looking good for us? Or just an even longer wait?

133 recruits who have passed all managed stages and are ready to enter GV but can’t because they have no budget to train them. Think this discussion on the Nolan show this morning may speed things up abit because it brought to light the consequences of new staff not being trained. Also on average they are losing 300 staff a year due to retirement so the numbers will be dropping well below the 7000 mark.

I mean it came from the horse's mouth this morning on Nolan.

133 of the 2020 campaign are sitting ready to go.

She stated that in the current budget which covers up to March 2023 there's only enough money for 150 student officers.

Meaning only 17 places for 2021 campaign.

Money may come from Westminster but considering those on the hill aren't for playing the game unless that happens i doubt there'll be any change to that forecast until April 2023.

Does it count for those left,those 133,or does it count who was already in GV from April 2022 onwards?

Cause budget was set up from April 2023 to April 2023. Was this 150 for whole year or its from now to April?

So confused 🙈

No, they currently have 133 candidates waiting to be appointed.

They want 150 by the end of this year. It means they will actually start taking some from the 2021 campaign. So they are actually hoping to exhaust the 2020 appointment list completely.

Do not put your life on hold, go on holiday.

How many times did you have to repeat that already ?🤣

I laughed when I read that again 🙈🤣

It wasn't a stupid question. They will ask you if you have any holidays booked and if you do they can't work round it. So plan it wisely if you think ur going to get a call soon👍 also no matter what anybody says your life will be put on hold for this job unfortunately

I have 3 friends in the police. One of those a Sargent. They are all on 2 or 3 holidays a year. Have plenty of family time and always ask me "where do you get the idea that this job takes over your life?" They all enjoy the job and the time off. Maybe they are lucky with the stations they are in and there are loads of colleagues who love OT.

I had to do the same, will see you in October!

Can anybody tell me what the take home salary is in GV each month? Trying to way up the wage difference with my current job!

For reference.

NITA isn't taxable or pensionable but is subject to National insurance so circa 12% deduction.

£3492 × 0.88 = £3072.96/12 = £256.08

Is your tax code is applied properly, ehich it won't be as HMRC lag behind job changes.

Taxcode 1257L i.e. tax free allowance £12,570/annum.

Pension deduction 12.44.

Plugging salary into a salary calculator for the student officer salary of £21,441.

Take home pay on that salary £1394.11. (No student loan)

Add in NITA post NI (no student loan)

£1650.19/month

With student Loan (Plan 1 if you are from NI)

Take home pay works out to be about

£1383.11.

With NITA less national insurance and student loan is £233.3/month.

Monthly take home £1616.14/month

But in practice for sone reason it's much lower than this, federation subscription etc.

Hi all, apologies if this has been previously answered but are they hoping to have our 2020 campaign fully exhausted by March 2023 and then start from the 2021 campaign or could it extend past that?

There are people who got August start day with 640- 670 ML. So I think there is not that many left, and even without executive it's very possible that our campaign will be done by March 😬 I hope 🤣

Hello. Sorry I’m in the 2021 campaign.

does anyone know what classes have been confirmed? Is there a sept/Oct class confirmed?

No problem Byc_more , thanks for letting me know 😀

fingers crossed there will be 😀

Just wondering do they call off a withheld number? And do they leave a voicemail? Thanks!

Hi folks, I’m in the 2021 recruitment process and was wondering where can you slip up or fail on the managed stages, which is the most common one or one that most people fall down on?

thanks in advance!
