DWP Work Coach 2020/21 Application Support

Hi, you may be able to ask your score-ask via the portal-as that will give you an indication. Scores are out of 7, so 6 questions X scores. They sometimes add a 'multiplier' but if they don't, then 6 Q's x scores of 7 = 42, 6 Q's x scores of 5 = 30 and many other permutations. You will have scored at least 4 for all Q's as you would fail if only 3.
What happens is that a merit list is compiled, highest scores at the top. They work down the list, looking at preferences, and the higher up ones will get their 1st/2nd preferences, those lower down only will if the vacancies are not filled by people higher up, or they will get a preference 3rd/4th etc, depending on how many they asked you to nominate.
If you passed high enough to be offered but no vacancies at any of your preferences, you will go onto reserve list until a vacancy (hopefully) becomes available, as some people will decline (may have found other jobs etc).
Occasionally, if they have a site that’s hard to fill/unpopular, then they may ask those on the reserve list if they are interested but no obligation. That happened to me some years back. Vacancies can be more/less popular mainly due to travel-both time/distance/cost/parking etc

Can’t thank you enough !!!that makes it much clearer .I had only opted for one preference which is south Manchester as I can’t travel anywhere else so maybe that would keep my options limited.But I heard they are opening up new offices throughout ,so I will still keep my hopes up ✌️. I did enquire on the chat about my scores but one Kelly replied that I had no way of finding it out .Do I need to email them at SSCL?thanks ever so much for being so very helpful.

Well they can find out, even if she didn't personally know, so request again (be a bit formal) or ask 'do I need to submit a Data Protection request to get it?' and that should get them hopping, at least I hope so!
I think may be worthwhile letting them know you are open to 'wider option's, can't hurt?

I am a current DWP employee (AO case manager) - I applied for Black Country EO vacancies, completed interview 18/1 - what happens next as I’ve been told that if I have passed the interview it would normally be the right to work documents next however if you’re a current civil servant you don’t have to do that?

Also, my friend I work with that was on the reserves list from the last campaign has been given her formal offer as have a few others I know. From my understanding they have gone through the reserves list and called who they wanted to then they will sift the new applicants, is that right?

Hi I need some advice. I have been speaking to someone on here as they applied for the same area as me, they did their interview the day before me and have been contacted for RTW documents meaning they have passed the interview stage, I haven’t heard anything at all, I thought that everyone should be contacted at the same time? Does this mean I probably haven’t passed the interview ?

Has anyone received an offer for West London or South London from their January campaign please?

Keen to hear from anyone with their own updates from all the London Campaigns in the past 2 weeks

I’ve received an offer for North London (December campaign). However West London is closer and going through PEC for that hence wonder anyone has heard - this is from January campaign.

Provisional or formal offer ?
