Many congratulations thats wonderful news :smile:

Its interesting watching your progress because you seem to be about one week ahead of me! Did they give you a location? And do you train at your local office or is it somewhere else or online?

Thank you so relieved honestly 😅, so I’m training at five ways but haven’t been given a location yet and she said some people are in office so I’m
Not sure if it’s in office all the time or WFH

Hey guys, I had my call come through yesterday and my formal contract came through today. I applied for the East London position. I think it’s fair to say the process has been different for everyone! Mine went fairly straight forward, the longest wait I had was waiting to find out whether I’d passed my pre-recorded interview (I waited around 9 days). Everything went smoothly from there. If anyone has any questions I’m happy to answer :smile:

Hi, so they’ve given me a conditional offer based on the pre-employment checks. I don’t think my pre-employment checks are completed yet but on the contract is states that they’re happy for you to start working with them whilst they’re still doing the pre-employment checks on you and if anything should get flagged up then they’ll discuss that with you. My DBS took under a week to come back. Lucky for me my counter signatory filled out the form straight away. Hopefully you get a call soon to offer you a position

I got a separate email to say they would send me a email when they were ready for me to do a disclosure everyone has all been different

Oh really? That’s strange. I’m already on the DBS update service so maybe that’s why things were a little bit sped up for me :confused:

Thank you! I told them I could start whenever but she was so accommodating to the fact that it’s Ramadan and said I can start after it. So I officially start on 17th May :smile:
