Hi, I applied at Preston in September had my interview in November and like everyone else got the reserve email in December. Then again in December gotta shift preferences email which was supposed to be replied to by the ninth JAN. I replied and hadn't heard anything back until yet, so I emailed and didn't get a reponse and on 9 th Feb I emailed again and got told there's not definitive start date yet. I was like :/ didn't even tel meif I got the shift I asked for or anything!

Hi! It's crazy how long it all takes, isn't it?! It's the not knowing that's annoying! I emailed them yesterday to ask if there was any update on pre-employment checks, and they said that my pack had been sent to the recruitment team and they would update me via email/my online account, but didnt say when that would be!
It's so annoying having to wait around 😔

Me pre employment checks for AO grade took two weeks.

It's only these latest O/HO grade Caseworker campaigns that are taking an age because it's such a national recruitment.

So are you currently working in Liverpool? 😊 Are you enjoying it? Do you know what the pre-employment checks consist of? Do they get your references etc then?

Reply 32

Yeah I'm just waiting for the EO position. Good luck for the DWP...

I'm enjoying the job; have to go the gym slightly more because it's a desk job and I enjoy being active. But that's most things in life I guess :P

Pre employment checks consists of them sending away for a DBS check, you could always call DBS to see if an application has been started. That's what I done when I got desperate! Ha! And then they just look into the HMRC PAYE system to see your job history matches what you said on the application process. Oh, and you fill in a health form and character declaration form.

Is it a standard or enhanced dbs check how long does the check take to come back once it's started?
Do they do your reference checks after dbs?
What order are the checks done in are these the only checks?
