Administrative Officer (graduate) (general) 2022 civil service

I'm from batch 5 and have yet to receive mine.

when Did you get called for clearance?

When/if people from Batch 7 have been called for clearance?

I am in batch 7 and have received my department.

Thanks, good luck with your placement!

I just received batch 8 results and was successful, a little anxious about the new campaign starting so soon. Fingers crossed they will reach me.

I emailed PAS when the new competition went up and was told that if you’ve been invited for clearance then there will be a role available for you. I would assume they will stop interviewing once they’re ready to move onto the next competition.

I was OOM in the 10s in Batch 7 and received my placement last week, I’m already in the civil service so possibly why it was quite quick

Hi I am in the specialist stream 'Energy Climate and Communications' batch 5 OOM12 for the AO position. I emailed clearance last week and was told there was 10 ahead of me at that stage. Anyone else in a specialist stream and if so how long did it take to get a call? Thanks.

Anyone from Batch 7 know how far down the list they have gone?

Hmm I applied for that stream too and was in the same batch, so I'm wondering now if it's to do with the specialist steam perhaps...? I had my interview in June and am still waiting to be called. When did you have your clearance ?

Hey, I've just received an appointment in the Dept of Health. I was batch 5 OOM16. The requirements for the role specify a degree in health care/social care which I don't have. My Post Grad was in Education although I've worked the last 10 years in Social Care. Anyway I'm a bit apprehensive about taking the position. What happens to my position on the panel if I decline the position? Do I get bumped down the list or off the list altogether? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I agree with the above comment. You sound like an ideal candidate for the job with your mix of post grad education and work experience.

If you're afraid to ask your own contact in case it comes off not so well, I personally would call up PAS as you will get through to a different officer, it's just a general query you have and doesn't reflect on whether you want the role or not. I've called twice and they've picked up both times and I had my questions answered immediately so I'd recommend calling if you've any worries.

It does really sound like you're a great fit for a role in the Dept. of Health so if they've accepted your degree in the clearance stage it sounds like you're good to go.

Yes initial panic has subsided and has been replaced with genuine excitement for a new challenge.

Sharing in case anyone else is looking for the 2023 AO General Comp.

Ah I found the answer to the above: -

On promotion, an officer will be appointed at the minimum point of the new scale unless any of the conditions set out at 1.2 apply.

1.2 (i) Where the officer's current salary is above the minimum point of the new scale

but below the normal maximum, the nearest point above the officer's current salary

point plus one increment.

(ii) Where the officer's current salary is above the normal maximum point of the

new scale but below LSI1, the nearest point above the officer's current salary point

(i.e. LS I1).

(iii) Where the officer's current salary is above LSI1 and be low LSI2 of the new

sca le, the nearest point above the officer's current salary point (i.e. LSI2).

(iv) Where the minimum of the new salary scale is greater than existing pay by an

amount less than the first increment on the new scale, the officer may enter the new

scale at the minimum plus one increment.
