Anyone here had an interview recently in lieu of an assessment centre having been put on the reserve list? I had my interview yesterday and I was wondering what the approximate timeline is of finding out and what the next stage of the assessment would be.

I have my interview on friday, how did it go?

To all future applicants they aren’t opening recruitment for trainees this year as they are still working through last years applicants

Good luck! Yeah, decently I think. It's a bit weird doing it over the phone but they were very friendly.

Not quite the same but I was at one of the last assessment centres in mid March and I found out I was successful about ten days later. I had email to confirm I was accepting being out into the candidate pool and haven't heard anything else since. Not sure if vetting forms will be sent out to me soon or whether stuff is on hold at the moment.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has had to have a psychological assessment and what does this involve?

I got invited to a telephone one this morning too! We must be on the same timeline lol

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had a telephone interview in lieu of an assessment centre? i had mine on the 15th and have been wondering how long it will be before i hear back from them. Also, do you know if assessment centres are going ahead when lockdown is lifted or not? the interviewers weren't too sure what's happening with regard to the recruitment process

I had my telephone interview on Friday, i remember when i picked my slot that there were options up until the end of April so pretty sure we won't be hearing till after then anyway. and in the email it just said people will be chosen if they have passed the interview to go to an assessment centre when lockdown has ended... no timeline on that so don't think it will be anytime soon for anything tbh. My friend who was in the year before me recruitment drive has an offer but still not started and he applied a year before i did.

Do you know if this is because of past health history or because of the nature of the role that you’re required to do one? If you don’t mind me asking

Yes same with me, nature of the role which I was fully aware of when applying.

Just asking because I was invited to one too, but not sure if that was because of past history. Does that mean that there was no psychological history on your occupational health form? Sorry, trying to ask in the least intrusive way possible haha but just determining why I was invited to one and hoping that it’s because of the nature of the role rather than them having concerns.

Hi. Can anyone say how long after they filled in the vetting forms were they called forward for the substance test? Thanks

No problem. There was no psychological history on my forms so this is just standard procedure I believe.

Hope you're all well. If you look at the recruitment pack you got when you filled in the form it says "you'll undertake annual physiological checks due to possible exposure to child sexual abuse" It something you need before you join so you're safe to take up the role and also during. I have a funny feeling this may be the last step for some people :smile:

I know the substance test are suspended at the moment because of the lockdown but can anyone say where they went to for their test in the South or London area? Thanks

I had my phone interview on the same day! The interviewers seemed to suggest that assessment centre may not go ahead at all and may be skipped. How that works and for whom I have no idea.
