    have you heard anything else ?

    Would love to know how everyone is getting on ?

    Thanks a mill

    The wheels move fairly slowly! You could be waiting a few weeks for the clearance to come through. After that, it probably depends on the urgency for filling positions

    I've heard that theres one person starting in January. One oerson started last month. 3 of the 4 units are well staffed. 1 unit fairly understaffed. There are people coming and going all the time though for various reasons.

    Hi. So I've nearly got a place as an Incident Creation Representative, Staffline are asking me for an Audiology report. Is this something I can get at one of those hearing aid selling shops like Hidden Hearing or Specsavers or do I need to book into a GP?

    This too shall pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 difalloni


    I got mine done in Specsavers, it's handy can book online then takes about 45 minutes

    Edit to add it costs about 55 euro

    Hi. I got offered a position in Dublin at the end of October, number 1 on oom, vetting cleared quite quickly, now still waiting on extra security clearance, it's been just over 4 months now, I'm getting quite frustrated. Anyone else still waiting on clearance?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 Irish_Twisted

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Iamlou


    I got confirmation yesterday morning my extra security clearance is complete and all is in order, so just waiting on a start date now. This is for Dublin



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 BpTiger


    Congratulations, best of luck.

    How long were you waiting?

    I submitted my vetting stuff at the end October along with the hearing test results and haven't heard anything yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Iamlou


    Thank you!

    I submitted mine at the end of October aswell, so i've been waiting 7 months. You should hopefully hear something soon, I reckon they will have a batch of us start at the same time.

    Are you for Dublin too?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 BpTiger


    No, I'm in Galway so might be a different timescale. Hopefully I'll get some news soon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Iamlou


    Hopefully! They're really not in a rush are they 😆 Best of luck with it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 sue Whoo

    My clearance came through. They are doing the reference checks now. Hopefully they don't take long and we get a start date soon or work could get awkward.
