I applied years ago, was accepted, but then told that there was no budget left for training, so about 25 people were basically told to sod off
Was thinking of applying again as I am also a trainee paramedic in the St. Johns Ambulance and enjoy this sort of stuff.
Problem is that I carry quite a bit of personal debt, and have a few defaults against me (Story for another day and another forum). As a result I am not sure if I will pass the financial vetting stage.
If I had a CCJ then it would be a "no no" for six years. I've rang recruitment and they are not too sure either and told me just to fire an application form off anyway and they will review it.
Tbh, not going to bother if it's a definate "no no". Might got on the phone to them again and get a definitive answer.
