Hello, I am waiting for results, they stated feedback and results out by end of tomorrow Friday 08th, so nervously waiting. How did your interview go? I felt my behaviours were OK but strengths could have said more, but not bad overall. Good luck!

Hello. I did the interview around 25th March. They tested me on the Managing a Quality Service and Working Together behaviours and some strength questions. It wasn't too bad to be honest. There's no further update as yet - Still waiting and I just wish they kept candidates more clearly informed.

I apologise, but when you say results, are you referring to interview or something else? Either way, Good Luck!!!

EDIT: Just contacted the recruitment team and received a quick reply from someone saying that the candidates will be contacted either later today or sometime tomorrow

My mum is also waiting for the results. Somebody contacted her on Friday, but just to tell her that the documents she had initially submitted were not clear enough. What I don’t understand is why tell people you will update by Friday and then not do it? Anyway, if either of you hear anything will you post in here please as the wait is killing her.Thanks and good luck!

I personally work for HMRC and it took FOREVER from applying to post so I’ve told her to brace herself for a wait, but I hope you guys don’t have to wait too long.

Fingers crossed they will say something on Monday but honestly who knows, if not I think it might be worth contacting the recruitment again…

Thanks and I agree - Just think they can do better than the snail pace speed they recruit candidates.

Whilst we're waiting, does anyone know what this role involves? Is it more like a call centre type of role with phones or more admin type?

I get the impression from the job advert and the teams call I attended, that the job is mainly around processing claims for grants, dealing with enquiries, contacting claimants for more information etc. With such an open-ended job title - Team Member! - I expect it is just a case of mucking in with what is required at any given time. But just impressions really.

Thanks richaj - Let's be honest, they're job advert responsibility description is unclear and open-ended. I am trying to avoid any role which involves being constantly on the phones. I just hate it. I don't mind doing the odd call here and there - just not all the time.

That's excellent news! Congratulations!
But I'm very worried because there's a huge amount of preemployment check questions. I left my previous role due to ill-health and my disabilities, so I'm concerned they may reject me.
