Continued... DWP Work Coach Vacancies July, September, November 2021

Hey guys. I was wandering if anyone could advise me on what I should do. Basically on my initial application form, I answered "No" to the "Are you currently employed?" question. I work part-time sat/sun only but I'm currently on furlough so I was kinda confused. Is there any way I can change this? Or should I wait until PECs? I don't want it to affect my application 😔

Send them an e-mail and explain, they will simply open the form back up for editing through your portal ☺️ You are correct though, although you are on furlough, you are still employed [email protected]

Does anyone know if I can use a friend who I have not worked with professionally for my countersignatory?

Yes I did. As long as they fit the other criteria it will be fine.

Thank you! Did you put them down as ‘friend’ on the ‘relationship to countersignatory’ question?

Does anyone know if they always contact the countersignatory?

I have an offer and a start date but PECs are still being completed so quite keen to get them done before I start (still have a month). I know my employer has been contacted and returned the reference (I’ve had DBS & occupational health done too) but as yet my countersignatory hasn’t, although I have told them to check their junk email just in case.

I did, just make sure you put their personal address and contact details down if you don't know them professionally.

I am fed up with DWP.

I completed a RTW interview for two applications at the same time. I have completed PECs for these two as well.

I am scheduled to complete another RTW interview for a separate application today.l

However, my portal also says that I am scheduled for a RTW interview for an application that I’ve completed PECs for....

Who on Earth is running this **** show, honestly 🤯
