Army and then prison officer, due to start guard in September!

Hi all, I apologise if this is obvious but I can onky find a Web page for 8 years ago pertaining to network rail notice periods. I'm due to start with SWR on 30/09 so when would be the time to hand in notice with Network rail - I'm an operative if that has any impact. Thanks in advance.

I am yes, but I will be moving to where the place of work is...

Yes I do. Correct as well as vegetation management. There was nothing on my interview that was there to trip you up.

If you want to know a rough time frame I applied for commercial guard middle of Jan, got my start date last week for the end of September. Good luck.

Try have a look at the lifesaving rules, that will get you very big brownie points!

Honestly it's good your going prepared, but please don't worry yourself too much on company knowledge - I actually don't think I was asked anything to do with the company other than, 'do you know anything about the job itself'. I wasn't asked anything specific on the 7 skills and I revised them...

Got my start date today!! Don't know if coincidence with ringing up, but very happy. All the best.

Well just called up and they said you'd have to have moved on day you start at the ROC. incredibly bizzare that they don't give you any breathing room to be able to find somewhere suitable especially as it will be the training wage. Hey ho will stick with where I originally applied!

Hi pal, Thanks for that info - I may well consider doing that then. I was worried they'd only give you a few months and then you'd get the chop if you hadn't. All the best.

Evening, How long do SWR give you to relocate for a position? I've been offered a guard role elsewhere to where I applied. Cheers.

My current role. Bulk of the work is fence repairs, vegetation management and draining maintenance and inspection. We work mostly days and get a 13 week roster, couple of weeks of nights thrown in usually and a couple of weekends.

Got confirmation I'd passed the process for commercial guard about 3 weeks ago, it is for Bournemouth and I'm aware quite a few have started there recently. Does anyone know of any upcoming courses or how long I could be waiting? Many thanks in advance.

I had my interview last week, in all honesty it was very relaxed and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so firstly don't panic it won't catch you out at any point. Have a look at the job description online on the recruitment advert - it will say something along the linesbof principle responsibilities and...

I'd be moving back with parents just to settle in so good to know driving licence would be acceptable!
