DWP work coaches (North West - Cheshire)

A thread for any new starters or people who have applied for the DWP work coach 12 FTC in Cheshire.

Hello, I’m currently 13 days from submitting my PEC for Cheshire and a September candidate.

hi . Same for me. Did my pre employment check details about two weeks ago. My first options were Warrington and Northwich. But not sure which one I will get yet. Do you know what our start date will be for September applications?

After seeing some of the dreadful news on the other posts I really don’t know, possibly January for us September candidates but I really don’t know, I’ve put Winsford, Northwich, Crewe, Chester and Warrington for my choices but I really don’t mind which one, I just hope I don’t end up on the reserve list

Feeling exactly the same as you. Worried about a reserve list and or no positions being available. Just wondering what does your portal say at the moment?

It still says “Your application is currently going through pre-employment checks. If we require additional information from yourself with regards to the above we will advise you of this and request you provide the additional information.”
I know they have contacted my personal reference, but not sure on my past employers, I haven’t had a health document form yet either, what about yours?

I was worried too about other threads. Jan seems a long way off! How do you know if your on the reserve list? All I know is that I have a provisional offer

I was told on Thursday if you are on the reserve list they will send you an email and your status should change shortly after.

Ah okey. Not had that yet. Been waiting two weeks for my checks. Fingers crossed I’m not on that list

Cheshire also here. I don’t think any references have been contacted yet. Submitted 16th and just says in pre employment checks. Same fears here about reserve 😐

I’m just going to stay positive, I don’t think they have started with the Cheshire positions for September yet as I have been following all the threads, I’m still excited for the role and think they will get to us but possibly looking at the cities that have the highest number of people that are needing support, fingers crossed

I applied for Cheshire as well along with 2 other locations. I have been offered one of the others and was told Cheshire will contact me when they start allocating. It should not be long now. I will be withdrawing from Cheshire though as I already have firm offer and start date for the other.

Which region did you have the start date for?

Staffordshire and Derbyshire. Got called twice. Offering 2 different start dates
