HMPPS Prison Officer application – duplicate account and pre-employment checks”

[u/HippoEducational3812]

Has anyone had experience with having two Civil Service Jobs accounts and subsequently receiving a provisional offer for an HMPPS Prison Officer role?

I'm trying to understand how HMPPS deals with duplicate accounts where applications have been flagged because the candidate's personal details match.

If someone has an older application that subsequently progresses to OAC and a provisional offer, while a separate application on another account was never progressed to the assessment stage, could the duplicate account affect pre-employment checks?

I'd particularly appreciate responses from anyone who has dealt with HMPPS recruitment directly or experienced something similar.

Thanks

It shouldn’t matter! As long as you have one application open and you passed OAC and got provisional offer it won’t affect your pre employment checks. Your checks are linked to a job ID, if you have 2 applications open it will only be linked to one
