Completing your application
Behaviour examples requires more than just information about what you did, it requires you to explain. There are many different approaches you could take to writing behaviours, such as the STAR, or the CAR method. As to which one you chose to use, its all down to your personal style of writing. Within the Civil Service, the most common approach is: The STAR method
Using the STAR method, allows you to set the scene, show what and how you did and the overall outcome. The job holder (and later the interviewer) will use this method to gather all the relevant information about a specific capability that the job requires.
Situation - Describe the situation you found yourself in. You must describe a specific event or situation. Be sure to give enough detail for the job holder to understand.
• Where are you?
• Who was there with you?
• What had happened?
Task - The job holder will want to understand what you tried to achieve from the situation you found yourself in.
• What was the task that you had to complete and why?
• What did you have to achieve?
Actions - What did you do? The job holder will be looking for information of what you did, how you did it and why. Keep the focus on you. What specific steps did you take and what was your contribution? Remember to include how you did it, and the behaviours you used. Try to use I rather than we to explain your actions that lead to the result. Be careful not to take credit of something that you did not do.
Results - Dont be shy about taking credit for your behaviour. Quote specific facts and figures easily understandable.
• What results did the actions produce?
• What did you achieve through your actions and did you meet your goals?
• Was it a successful outcome? If not what did you learn from the experience?
Keep the situation and task parts brief. Concentrate on the action and the result. If the result was not entirely successful describe what you learned from this and what you would do differently next time. Make sure you focus on your strengths.
Remember- if you are a school leaver or out of employment, and feel that you dont have the experience to apply for this role then do this-
• Make a list of your skills, strength and experience
• Focus on your education/day-to-day life/extra-curricular activities such as team sports
• Highlight anything that would help you perform in the job that you are applying for

Completing your application
Behaviour examples requires more than just information about what you did, it requires you to explain. There are many different approaches you could take to writing behaviours, such as the STAR, or the CAR method. As to which one you chose to use, its all down to your personal style of writing. Within the Civil Service, the most common approach is: The STAR method
Using the STAR method, allows you to set the scene, show what and how you did and the overall outcome. The job holder (and later the interviewer) will use this method to gather all the relevant information about a specific capability that the job requires.
Situation - Describe the situation you found yourself in. You must describe a specific event or situation. Be sure to give enough detail for the job holder to understand.
• Where are you?
• Who was there with you?
• What had happened?
Task - The job holder will want to understand what you tried to achieve from the situation you found yourself in.
• What was the task that you had to complete and why?
• What did you have to achieve?
Actions - What did you do? The job holder will be looking for information of what you did, how you did it and why. Keep the focus on you. What specific steps did you take and what was your contribution? Remember to include how you did it, and the behaviours you used. Try to use I rather than we to explain your actions that lead to the result. Be careful not to take credit of something that you did not do.
Results - Dont be shy about taking credit for your behaviour. Quote specific facts and figures easily understandable.
• What results did the actions produce?
• What did you achieve through your actions and did you meet your goals?
• Was it a successful outcome? If not what did you learn from the experience?
Keep the situation and task parts brief. Concentrate on the action and the result. If the result was not entirely successful describe what you learned from this and what you would do differently next time. Make sure you focus on your strengths.
Remember- if you are a school leaver or out of employment, and feel that you dont have the experience to apply for this role then do this-
• Make a list of your skills, strength and experience
• Focus on your education/day-to-day life/extra-curricular activities such as team sports
• Highlight anything that would help you perform in the job that you are applying for

About the job
Job summary
The Home Office is here to make the UK safer. It has a fundamental role in protecting the country from harm, ensuring the security and economic prosperity of the UK. Every member of the Home Office plays a part in making that happen. Our work is varied and rewarding, attracting people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
Asylum & Human Rights Operations is one of the key business areas within the Home Office. We are undergoing an exciting period of change. Alongside the other areas of the Home Office, the department is embarking upon a transformational programme. Operational Excellence is at the forefront of what we do.
Our strategic aims contribute to the Home Office strategic objectives: preventing terrorism and extremism; cutting crime and protecting the vulnerable; and reducing immigration and preventing abuse.
Asylum & Human Rights Operations play a vital role in supporting the economy and cultural life of the UK.
The National Asylum Intake Unit sits within Asylum & Human Rights Operations and has several locations across the UK including Croydon, Dover, Manston (near Ramsgate), and Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre (near Bedford).
The National Asylum Intake Unit is made up of over 800 officers and registers around 80% of asylum claims nationally, the remainder being registered through Immigration Enforcement and Border Force.
The National Asylum Intake Unit is responsible for locking the identity and registering asylum claims from:
Small boat arrivals
Lorry drops and other clandestine arrivals
In-country claimants
Job description
We are excited to offer these Executive Officer (Immigration Officer) vacancies within the Asylum & Human Rights Operations National Asylum Intake Unit.
The National Asylum Intake Units various locations undertake the same basic functions of locking identity and registering asylum claims through a screening process. However, each team manages slightly different workstreams.
The roles we intend to fill through this campaign sit within the following National Asylum Intake Unit Teams:
Kent Intake Unit (Channel View Road, Dover & Frontier House, Folkestone)
The Kent Intake Unit is located in Dover and we will shortly be opening a new site at Frontier House, Folkestone. The Kent Intake Unit primarily deals with new arrivals detected either near the port, in the surrounding area in Kent, and small boat arrivals. The unit operates 24/7, 365 days of the year. Those arriving at the Kent Intake Unit will already be detained, so the Kent Intake Unit includes a holding room facility. The Kent Intake Unit has a particular focus around processing unaccompanied children, so the work of the unit involves the identification of those children and working closely with Kent Childrens Services to ensure they are processed and placed into appropriate care as quickly as possible.
Manston Initial Processing and Triage Centre (near Ramsgate)
Manston is a new Home Office location with a particular focus on small boat arrivals. It is based near Ramsgate and is an initial triaging and processing centre for those arriving via this method. The team operates 24/7, 365 days of the year. Those arriving at the Manston Initial Processing and Triage Centre will already be detained, so the site contains a number of holding room facilities. The operation is focussed around adults and families.
Please note those successful candidates posted to either team will be required to wear uniform during every shift.
Annualised Hours Working (AHW)
The National Asylum Intake Unit operates a shift working pattern, where Annualised Hours Working (AHW) is paid in accordance with the operational needs of the business. This allowance is paid in addition to the monthly salary to compensate for out of office hours working and flexibility.
A review of AHW takes place annually and there is an anticipation that the shift working pattern will encompass 24-hour rota coverage, meaning some night work will be expected.
Our teams are 24/7 operations with shift patterns including early starts, evening working, night shifts, weekends and public holidays. Shift lengths can vary and be up to 12 hours. Rosters are published in advance but shifts can change or extend according to business need.
Please see the Candidate Pack for more details.

Providing false or misleading information would be contrary to the core values of honesty and integrity expected of all Civil Servants.
For meaningful checks to be carried out, individuals need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. You should normally have been resident in the United Kingdom for the last 3 years if the role requires CTC clearance, 5 years for SC clearance and 10 years for DV. A lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance and applicants should contact the Vacancy Holder/Recruiting Manager listed in the advert for further advice.

The Kent Intake Unit is located in Dover and we will shortly be opening a new site at Frontier House, Folkestone. The Kent Intake Unit primarily deals with new arrivals detected either near the port, in the surrounding area in Kent, and small boat arrivals. The unit operates 24/7, 365 days of the year. Those arriving at the Kent Intake Unit will already be detained, so the Kent Intake Unit includes a holding room facility. The Kent Intake Unit has a particular focus around processing unaccompanied children, so the work of the unit involves the identification of those children and working closely with Kent Childrens Services to ensure they are processed and placed into appropriate care as quickly as possible.
Manston Initial Processing and Triage Centre (near Ramsgate)
Manston is a new Home Office location with a particular focus on small boat arrivals. It is based near Ramsgate and is an initial triaging and processing centre for those arriving via this method. The team operates 24/7, 365 days of the year. Those arriving at the Manston Initial Processing and Triage Centre will already be detained, so the site contains a number of holding room facilities. The operation is focussed around adults and families.
Please note those successful candidates posted to either team will be required to wear uniform during every shift.
Annualised Hours Working (AHW)
The National Asylum Intake Unit operates a shift working pattern, where Annualised Hours Working (AHW) is paid in accordance with the operational needs of the business. This allowance is paid in addition to the monthly salary to compensate for out of office hours working and flexibility.
A review of AHW takes place annually and there is an anticipation that the shift working pattern will encompass 24-hour rota coverage, meaning some night work will be expected.
Our teams are 24/7 operations with shift patterns including early starts, evening working, night shifts, weekends and public holidays. Shift lengths can vary and be up to 12 hours. Rosters are published in advance but shifts can change or extend according to business need.
Please see the Candidate Pack for more details.
