sharon1986 · 10-10-2013 04:09PM

Hi folks. Been ages since iv been on here. Got my paperwork to complete today for opticians CTC etc.....what stage does this mean I'm at?

Ted777 · 10-10-2013 04:17PM

#Sharon 1986 .... It means you'll be waiting another 100 years as we have done medicals and are still waiting lmao

craydon · 10-10-2013 06:35PM

Sharon what position had you applied for? I've resorted to postman stalking this week again, I've a feeling we have to hear something soon or maybe the madness has kicked in!

Both jobs!!

I got the same letter too the first page has ticks on the forms u need, however I don't think I'll get it all done in time for the date stated as my gp is a nightmare to get an appointment for even if it's just to fill in a form

ukgirl · 11-10-2013 09:18PM

What's the form for the GP to fill in. Takes about 4 weeks for me to get an appointment

Just for vaccinations, you can get the nurse to do it but from past experience at my gp even that seems too big a task for them even though it would only take 5 mins of their time

ukgirl · 11-10-2013 09:35PM

Did we not already get that filled in before assessment centre?

craydon · 12-10-2013 09:14AM

Deetopps, have you applied for all positions or just the 1? I only applied for the custody officer role and still haven't heard about a medical or anything but told to be hopeful as I'm within the top 100. But not hopefull at the min as I seem to be one of the few who now hasn't had a medical date yet??

Craydon I haven't either. Sharon which pco did u apply for? Which hours? Wondering if they've filled the 40 hr ones yet or what stage they r at

deetopps · 12-10-2013 10:31AM

I applied for all positions except 20 hours one

Cubacuba · 12-10-2013 11:56AM

They still haven't started recruiting for the co position which is why you haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully it will happen soon !

Ditto, I was told that it is to happen without a doubt, apparently the prisons are now understaffed, and that the latest it could be could be the new year

ukgirl · 12-10-2013 03:04PM

What happens during the summer etc when the courts are closed. Is it unpaid leave?

craydon · 12-10-2013 04:06PM

Ok happy days thanks, was starting to get a wee bit annoyed that maybe I was being missed out for some reason! Maybe once they've filled all the PCO posts the rest of us who've only applied for co will start to hear? I lost all hope at one point but after chatting to wild rover I'm a little bit more hopeful now!

A relative of mine is a governor and he said that I will hear back, basically there were some PCO's that transferred over to the prisons as CO's so they were looking for in and around 100 odd PCO's to recruit as I was told, including those with different contracts, then they would be looking more CO's as I was told it could be another 100 to 200 more for the CO role, again I dunno how concrete all that was said but I got that from the so called horses mouth
