Anyone worked for the Home Office recently?

[eek]

How are you handling that?

By jetting round Europe troubleshooting for a very large software house - I'm not doing public sector work at the moment....

usual its security cleared on secure site only...

The Home Office UK in Marsham Street, Victoria, Westminster, London is a Security Check (SC) site. So you will need escorting around and in and out of the building if haven't been SC cleared yet.

I had no idea that they now know allow staff and also including contractors to WFH, when did that start?

They hired a lot of big name consultancies, who hired independent contractors or employees thereof*, who did Bring-Your-Own-Device in work (BYOD). Has that changed since my time?

Also this is public sector, and since 6th April this year, you will be under the Off-Payroll Worker rules. How are you handling that?



*ATOS, Capita, Equal Experts, etc, I'm looking at you.

No, but I've worked from my home office. Naked. In this heat, it's incredibly liberating.

Thanks for asking.

What are they like for working from home?

Was with HO a few months back and they were ok with 1-2 days working from home, as long as PM was ok with it. Nearly everyone in the team spent a day or so working from home.
