Has anyone received a job offer for the fraud officer role in Ty Taf?
Finally had an update today after an interview in March and it says placed on the reserve list. I’m aware of other mass recruitments at Ty Taf wheee they have chucked everyone on the reserve list and sent out offers within days, but not sure if that is the case here. So just looking to see if anyone has received an actual offer.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently received a provisional offer for a Science Technology & Project Research Officer role at the Government Office for Science, and I’ve been asked to indicate which team I’d be most interested in.
The teams are:
National Security & Resilience: standing up the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies to provide science advice to COBR in a crisis and we support the independent Council for Science and Technology, which the GCSA co-chairs, in providing high-level advice to the Prime Minister
Science Capability: we coordinate a network of departmental Chief Scientific Advisers (CSAs) who support each other and resolve cross-departmental problems; we support the Government Science and Engineering (GSE) Profession; we help Departments to increase science capability and R&D investment; we help think through issues that are complex and part of a wider government challenge through Systems Toolkit; and supporting mid-career scientists into the civil service.
Technology Insights, Foresight & Futures: we support strategic long-term thinking in government through Futures and Foresight including analytical thinking and emerging technologies such as AI.
Climate, Society & International: we convene rapid expert roundtables, synthesising evidence and identifying gaps through Rapid projects; social sciences; supporting the GCSA to prepare for International Visits; and climate change.
I come from a public health background, so I’m trying to get a better understanding of what the day-to-day work, culture and workload of these areas are actually like in practice.
If anyone has experience working with/alongside these teams (or GO-Science generally), I’d really appreciate any insight into:
* what the work tends to involve day-to-day
* which backgrounds suit each team best
* which teams are more strategic vs operational
* general work culture/work-life balance
Thank you!
Hi all,
Does anyone have recent experience with how long SC clearance is currently taking for an internal Civil Service/Government move?
I submitted my SC application back in February and I’m still waiting. I already hold CTC clearance, so I was hoping the process might be relatively straightforward, but I appreciate SC is a separate level of vetting.
I’m not looking for case-specific advice, just trying to understand whether waiting around 3 months is still within the normal range at the moment, or whether it suggests the application may be stuck somewhere with UKSV/HR/the sponsor.
Would it be reasonable to ask HR or the vacancy holder for an update at this stage?
Thanks.
Mostly just. Rant and question. But why isn't the bottom pay bracket for each grade aligned across departments?
For example a HEO at HMRC starts at £37,682 whereas a HEO at home office has different bottom brackets e.g. £38,419 for a HEO learning design business partner
£39,500 for a HEO project support officer
HMRC seems to have a dedicated starting salary regardless of role for each grade.
I also can't understand why Home office grades are on average paid more than HMRC or other sectors when HMRC is the bigger revenue generator.
Hello,
Hello,
I want to be economist and I dont know where to start. I have economics degree, graduated in 2019 and when I apply for GES, I get rejected as they ask how I kept my econ knowledge up to date. Any advise for me to be economist in the UK?
Hello All 🙂
I've got a verbal presentation, any tips or important points I should know?
Would it help if I let you know the topic ( Can I?)
Thanks in advance 👍🏼💪🏼
