				Academic and Professional Background of Case Workers

				Hello, 
What sort of academic and professional background do case workers in general and ILR case workers (if any different) have? And if you feel generous, can you also tell what sort of age group they belong to?
Many thanks

Thanks, just had a look. It covers many job roles in UKBA. What I'm curious about (and really that's just it - curiosity), what calibre of people decide on our future. I know many government jobs require passing a very tough entrance exam. Others require certain experience / training. Not really sure what kind of person a case worker is.

				And here's a follow on question: How much discretion do case workers have in deciding an application?

				There will be a range of people, new recruits are usually graduates. There is always discretion however, it should be justifiable and is obviously subjective.

aknight, if I became case worker, D. Cameron would personally have me guillotined for upsetting his party's proto-Nazi xenophobic image.

anyone after graduation can work for UKBA.
they do provide comprehensive training every three months.
I knew some immigration officers  in the Heathrow Airport ( when i was working in Transit section  ). Most of them worked as a case worker before but now working as an Immigration officer
try linkdin and read their CV

				@askmeplz82 excellent, very helpful. 
Actually they look pretty decent people. At least for now. Not sure about my opinion tomorrow when I have my PEO appointment!
