If you are successful but there are not enough vacancies to offer you a role, you will remain on a reserve list for up to 12 months.
Where multiple locations are available within a single advert, reserve lists will be held for each location and candidates will be appointed in merit order by location. Please only list a location where you are prepared to work and can travel to. If you are offered a role at this location and decline, you will be removed from the reserve list.
Where roles in multiple professions are available within a single advert, reserve lists will be held for each profession and candidates will be appointed in merit order by profession. If you are offered a role within this profession and decline, you will be removed from the reserve list.
Whilst on a reserve list we may offer you an alternative similar role in the Home Office or a role at location you have not selected. This will be done in strict merit order. Should you reject an alternative role, you will remain on the reserve list for the role/location you applied for. If you accept an alternative role, you will be withdrawn from the reserve list and proceed through pre-employment checks.
Please note there is no guarantee that further vacancies will arise before your time on the reserve list expires. We will not share your position on the reserve list with you as this is not an accurate indication of whether you will be offered a role.
