Hi mate, just wondering did you go straight in at grade 7 or work your way up? Been looking for some time but any jobs popping up within my remit are higher grades. I know I’ll have more chance getting a role on a lower grade but applied nonetheless.Nope, just applied straight from the street. I was in the army before hand but we have people from all walks of life.
Yes, you would just apply for a signaller position and you will then be trained for the role and paid a grade lower.
For example I’m grade 7, my basic salary is £43k, during testing I’d get grade 6 £39k.
