Hey people,

Anyone have a telephone number for Capita or some sort of head office? I stupidly input my password incorrectly and my account is frozen!

Cheers in advance for the help!

this is the helpline number when contacted.0845 304 0960
they might direct you to the right department. Good luck

I got it too from 6th April to 6th May, full time, as long as references are ok etc. I waited well over 3 weeks, in the end I e-mailed 2011census.sourcing.c@ons.gsi.gov.uk as I was getting fed up of waiting for them and can't be doing with phoning 08 numbers on my mobile, so if your still waiting it might be worth dropping them an e-mail to check. Plus that e-mail account is for all problems, so if they are slow at replying they should speed it along a bit. It is only temping work, but can fit around other jobs as its mostly evenings and weekends with what I can gather, so extra savings is always good

I had my telephone interview yesterday, and received an email today saying I have been successful! I now have to send details of referees and wait for a letter - long wait, post is terrible round here without the snow!

I did this 10 years ago, the basic role of delivering and collecting the forms, it was called Census Enumerator at the time. It was very hard work and took a lot more hours than they said, so the pay was very low in reality for the hours I put in. I looked at it again this time for one of the higher positions, but couldn't commit to the amount of hours they said would be needed. Anyway, good luck to you all and hope you enjoy it.

Ive been conditionally offered the supervisory role which entails 2 days training but the layout of training is awful...all I was offered was Gloucester which is 130 miles away...called to cancel my application to be told that Bournemouth would be offered shortly...would have been so much easier to email a list of training dates and locations so you know when to apply!

census forms are going out by post this time

Wonder if postal workers will [STRIKE]steal[/STRIKE] lose these as well? Hopefully they won't put a free pen or anything in them.....

This does not look promising to me.
