DWP Work Coach 2021 Starters

Hey guys I just thought I’d make this post for everyone who’s starting the Work Coach role. My start date is March 1st and I’ve been told there’ll be 7 weeks of training It would be interesting to discuss each other’s experiences regarding training, dress code etc

I start 1st March too, I've been told I'm in office for 3 or 4 days then training from home. Not been given any other information though.

Hi guys, how long did your pre employments checks take to complete if you don’t mind me asking

I start on the 22nd and have been told 8 weeks of training
What locations are you all?

Hi all I start on Monday in the Hampshire area.

I've been told one week in the office doing an induction - potentially only 3 to 4 days before going home. 6 weeks online training 9:30 to 4:30pm at home. 2 weeks training back in the office and then a choice of work from home, office-based or a mixture from then (dependent on Covid).

I'm in a virtual hub so no face-to-face interaction with claimants. Is that the same for everyone else?

Good luck to everyone. I'm excited to get started now.

I start on Monday , roughly 4 hours in office then 9.30 until 4 starting Tuesday working from home for 6 weeks.

I start Monday in Gloucestershire and have been told today all the training will be office based

Hi all, how long after the phonecall did it take to recieve written formal offer/contract?

I am due to start on the 29th but no written communication to confirm.

Received my formal co react a week after I got the call! I would say call them back if you can

Oh I see, the number just rings through. I'm reluctant to hand in my notice until I have it in writing.

What location are you?
