- ROSIE If you apply, you’ll be applying for the “new” FS – I’m the last of the old guard. I’ll talk about some of the roles you might be doing, and my impressions of the FS in a minute, and a lot of it will read across to the new scheme. Just to give a quick background of the differences. I am owned by my department, and I rotate through roles yearly, in one department (BIS), with the opportunity to apply for loans to other departments. The new scheme is different. Structured 4 year programme 2 yr 4 6 month placements rotating across departments, followed by 2 1 year placements in different departments (not sure on this point) Centrally owned (HMRC) and managed (CSR) HMRC T&Cs – ensuring standard pay and holiday across the scheme – as opposed to the current system where we are all on our Dept’s T&Cs, consequently getting diff pay and holiday etc.
