Not related to the question, but through personal experience I wouldn’t recommend anyone moving to DWP, especially as a work-coach…… one of the most under appreciated jobs going, considering how much stress they are under.

My friend works there and loves it.

She must have a very high resilience then.

Hi. Has anyone applied and heard back from their SJT yet. I applied on the 25th May and still not heard back yet.

I’ve applied for 2 locations, heard back about 1 SJT same day but not the other
one yet.

Apologies, just seen that it’s West Yorkshire you’ve applied for. I’ve applied for Leicestershire and heard back but not from Warwickshire.

Passed that one. Just waiting to see if I get an invite to interview. Not sure whether to tempt fate and start preparing or not! I know someone who does the work coach role and has said perhaps my score is boderline for the one I’m still waiting for but who knows 🤷🏻*♀️

well I got to question 19 but did get chance to answer question 20 so not sure if that’s an instant fail because I didn’t complete iu

Can I ask what you scored on the SJT? I scored 349.00 , I’m hoping to get an interview, but assuming that will be based on written submission.

It’s in the black country region.

Hi I scored 362. Just have to hope my statement is good enough to secure an interview. Not heard anything yet 😩

In exactly the same boat as you, I also applied for the bham/Solihull roles too, awaiting on the outcome of the SJT on that one. Best of luck!!

In the same boat myself.

Applied 18th June, received an email on the 19th for the SJT (which was completed the same day), a further email on the 20th saying ‘Thank you for completing your Situational Judgement Test. We are delighted to inform you that having carefully reviewed your responses, we will be taking your application to the next stage’, I scored 327 (whatever that means). Heard nothing since. Applications close on Monday 26th so am hoping I’ll hear back then.

Would really like this job too as it’s the sort of field I am already in (non Civil Service).

Please do keep in touch with how you get on plus any updates you have, it’d be useful to me and I will share too. Thanks! :smile:
