Hi guys.
I've been offered the role of PO with the Home Office for Scotland, and I just wanted to hear some experiences before I accept it.
I am currently working in the DWP. I don't know how much this would help me with the HOME office PO role.
1)Does the training make you prepared enough!? I am unsure about the courts when it comes to immigration rules/laws etc... It seems so complicated.
How do they decide who goes to Upper Tribunal and who goes to First Tier Tribunal?
And the biggest thing discouraged by the DWP is concessions. How do you know when to concede on an appeal for instance? Or what usually makes you do it?
is it mostly in person or WFH/courts?
How much in advance to the court day you get the cases? (you'd be surprised about how last min it is in the DWP)
Thank you for reading this. I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone as I'm considering accepting this job.
