DWP General Executive Officer

Got my offer from Wrexham today!

Have to wait for start date though, anyone know how long this takes?

Hi I applied for 651 Avon and Gloucestershire did PRVi 4th December. Just changed to second status this week.. such a long wait..

I scored 29 and got reserve unfortunately 😭

Finally had my onboarding phone call (applied September). Was looking for a part time role and been told that due to the nature of the training the first 6 months would have to be on a full time basis and is non negotiable. After that I could reduce my hours but the minimum they’d accept is 4 x 7.5hr days and one Saturday every month. Hours to cover would be 9am-6:30pm.
Just to make any one aware that was also looking for something more flexible

Oh no this is worrying as I’m hoping for part tome myself as iv accepted a role a little bit further away from home, iv just put all my pre employment info down and sent that off to them how long after you did that did you hear back off them?

I did all the forms the last week before Christmas and I think he first rang me mid Feb… just spoke to him again and withdrawn my application. It’s 6 months full time for training, they want you full time for 1st year ideally but COULD accept 4x7.5hrs after 6 months. After a year then they will consider more p/t hours. He told me to look at non front facing jobs so corporate ones which will have more flexibility. I hope you have better success than me. I’ve fed back my thoughts on the process and he agreed with many of them! I was attracted to the role as it was advertised as p/t part year… that’s not the case.
Good luck
