DWP Work Coach

Does anyone have an email for the Contact (caroline) in Leeds please?

Hi all, I have been given an offer for WC position in Midlands. I got 5666 which is okay but not great. Around page 45ish of the thread there have been many people whole scored 4545 or similar and they got offered a position within 6 months or the reserve list was extended and then they were offered it later on. I think some district's have put everyone who made the cut on a reserve list and then they will allocate to various branches . basically apply for other jobs but certainly do not give up as you should recieve and offer

so I got my feedback 6665 on the reserve list how do i find out where i am on the list ?

The contact person details are on the original job advert which you can access via your account. However I must warn that the information I received seems to differ from what others have been told

thank you am 106th

Is that the list for Durham & Tees Valley? If so did you ask how many are on the list? What did you score on your feedback? From what I gather there will be a number of Work Coach posts over 21 sites and there were over 450 interviewed for this area. Reading further back on this thread people have been in the 90's on the reserve list and have eventually been offered jobs so don't give up all hope

yeah Durham Teesvalley also put in Sunderland I put in loads of locations

Anyone heard anything from Durham & Tees Valley?

Application in reserve

You’ve reached the required standard but we’re unable to offer you a job immediately.

We've placed you on a reserve list from which appointments may be made if a similar job becomes available.

Interview feedback Selection exercise

Managing a quality service 6
Example given strongly demonstrated all elements of descriptors, some exceeding expectations.

Making effective decisions 6
Strong example demonstrating all elements of competency to a high standard.

Building capability for all 5
Example initially focussed on coaching a group of people however led onto a specific example of coaching an individual.

Leading and communicating 4
Example gave a very broad example of working with a diverse range of people with varying challenges. Would have been improved by a more specific example of a challenging situation / conversation with an individual.

Overall rating Overall comments Strong Demonstration
Candidate was extremely well prepared and confident.

So does that mean l am in reserve, or is it like West Yorkshire a holding response?

How long did it take, and where?

Anyone with an offer heard about training? I'm told I would likely have to go to Hull or York both are over an hour away to travel too! I queried this as over 2 hours travel on top of training for many weeks is a lot and was told as an EO you are expected to travel up to 90 minute radius
