New Member Introductions

Hey everyone! It's been long enough since I was last here that I figured a new introduction post was warranted. Since I was last here, I've moved to Manchester and applied to join the GMP. At this time, I've been issued a conditional offer of employment, and am just waiting on the completion of the pre-employment checks (job reference and vetting, specifically). Is anyone else here joining, serving, or has previously worked for, the GMP? I wouldn't mind networking, given the opportunity, though I'd welcome the chance to speak with others outside of the GMP as well!

I realised that I didn't create an introduction thread so here we are! After my last thread enquiring about vetting in regards to family finances where I received some really helpful insight, I've finally taken the leap to apply via the degree apprenticeship scheme! I applied for this position a couple of years ago where I got invited to the assessment centre however I received a promotion at work at the exact same time which I chose to accept instead.

I'm into my 4th set as a probationer on my 10 week tutorship and I'm just not enjoying it.

Most people on my shift are having a laugh and chilled, while I'm stuck face in the computer thinking, jesus this is all computer work, what is going on, I cant relax! I have worked so hard and am really trying my hardest, to the point where I bearly switch off, even at home on my rest days, and don't want to give it all up! I have a great tutor and shift, but…

Hello I am new to this forum, having found it on Google looking foor advice on starting my 10 week tutorship as a probationer on lpt. I have completed my first 3 shifts, now on rest days and all I can say is I felt so overwhelmed on my first shift. The amount of paperwork given to me by my tutor then straight out on a blue run to a domestic, I didn't know what was going on! Biggest thing though is everything is done on mobile devices now, even pnb, and I didn't get a input at college how to use them. So at the scene of the job I had no way of taking notes or how to even format how to do it on mobile first app. I have recently managed to get a paper…
