Hi,
I applied and interviewed for a job within the Civil Service at the start of November.
Checked the portal on the off chance yesterday and it’s updated from ‘interview slot booked’ to ‘application being reviewed’ with my interview scores now available.
Any idea how long it takes to get a yes/no from that point?
Scored a 4 and two 5’s on the behaviour questions and three 4’s on the strength questions.

@WineWithAView thanks so much that's really helpful. Great that it was so quick to come through for you!
I was provisionally offered an AO Home Office job in the middle of January (and found out yesterday I am also on reserve list for EO campaign) and pre-employment checks are ongoing. I was told in my ID verification meeting that I'd receive an email with a form to complete for the security vetting. However that was over six weeks ago and I still haven't received a form. So am wondering if I should contact them and chase it up? As presumably it will take at least another 3 weeks after I receive the form, based on your case...

@Seekinginfolady yes I'm still running the business. They just emailed me to ask if I'd closed it and if not, what was the business. I only gave a brief description of it and it was fine. My guess is, they just want to check for conflict of interest.
And yes, after being sent my provisional offer I asked if that role would allow part time hours, and I was told they couldn't discuss working patterns/hours until I had a start date. I don't know if that would be the case for all HO jobs. Frustrating though, because I'm now not sure I'll be able to take the job. And I withdrew from another interview a few weeks ago. Now regret that.

It depends on what role you were recruited for. Mine mandated I go through 3 months of full time training, and couldn't go part-time till I passed probation (6 months). On the other hand, I had flexi-hours from the getgo and the only hours I had to do every day was 10:00 to 15:00. But other roles require different patterns.

I uploaded my passport so I didn’t need to do the in person verification. Provided all my onboarding info today

Thanks @savethewales . I uploaded my passport too so I'm confused why I need to do this. I also recall showing my passport in the video interview.

I showed my passport in interview and uploaded all online and have also been invited for 2nd interview to verify identity. I have mine booked and it is only a 10 minute slot I think.

@booklist yeah that seems a long time to wait, worth you chasing up I think. I think (but my memories a bit rubbish these days) that I was told in the ID verification appointment that it would take about 2 weeks for that all to be confirmed and then I'd receive the Security vetting form. It actually only took a week though, between my ID interview and me getting the Security check form.
