DWP Work Coach

They usually call on private and leave a voicemail if they can't reach you.

They called on private for me too

I had no caller id.

Cheers guys.

Emailed in yesterday, by chance, to check my position on the reserve list and was asked to give them a call back right away. Turns out they had tried to contact me last week. but I didn't get a voicemail for some reason.

They offered me a similar sort of role within the 'Access to Work' department, in a different district, but in an area close by to me. I gladly accepted. They said the recruitment team will be in touch, to get the checks started and issue a start date. Great news.

Was on the reserve list for exactly 4 weeks, with a score of 6,6,5,4.

Cheers guys.

Well done, this is great news! Is it in Harrow by any chance?

Can I ask which email you contacted them about the reserve list. Is it just the one found on the original job advert?

I got 5,5,6,5 so no idea how long I could be with those scores,

Good guess - it is indeed! Is that where you'll be based?



Yep, it was the contact from the original job advert.

Fingers crossed you'll get offered something soon!

I had the same call two days after I was offered work coach by another district.

Ah ok - yeah it seems like they have a fair few of these roles to fill, by the sounds of it and have been instructed to use the work coach reserve list to do so.

It's been 48 hours since my offer, but no forms or anything have been sent yet - back to frequently checking the application centre, to see my original work coach application still in reserve. As the job I've been offered is in an entirely different district, for a different role, I'm not even sure that it will update....? Maybe they'll email them instead...

Mine took 6 days to update if that helps...

Was it 6 days before you received any of the forms too?

I'm reluctant to share the good news with others, until something written comes through and the checks officially begin - just having a phone call and then nothing else to follow, makes it still seem a bit up in the air!

And then you have to wait what seems like an age to get these checks through!

For anybody that's been called and made an offer, via the reserve list - what kind of number did they contact you from? Landline, mobile or unknown? Did they leave a voicemail if you weren't able to answer?

I get about 10 spam calls a day from dodgy numbers and have been answering way too many of these for my liking, just in case it;s them!

Hi all

Wondered if anyone knows roughly how long it normally takes from pre-employment checks to formal offer?
