Did anyone else who did the local recruitment got their call with the outcome of the final interview and heard from the council since?? :smile:


Hello, I had my interview with H&F on the 20th and they offered me a place on the 26th, but their HR said the contract won't be sent over until late June. The NGDP intimated that these things vary widely from council to council, so don't worry if you haven't heard anything yet.

Congratulations on the offer! I was only worried since in my 'I accept the offer' email, I also asked about the dates and never heard anything back, but I assumed the contracts will be done after the national route finishes in June, which would align with what you said. Thank you for the help! :smile:

Not me!

Personally, I reckon it'll be from tomorrow that we get any news!

It says by 11/05.
This is what it says in the q&a:

Q13. When will I be notified about my interview dates?

You will be notified by Thursday 11 May at the latest regarding interviews taking place in May and June. Interview allocation emails will come through separately over the course of several days, so please have patience as you wait to hear further news of interviews. You will receive an email when all interview allocation emails have been sent. You will be contacted by the councils interviewing you with the details of what to expect following notification from the NGDP team. You will be given at least 5 days’ notice of details necessary for each interview

It's saying over the course of several days and deadlines by Thursday. Doesn't leave them much time. I really thought some of us would get our allocated interviews today and tomo.

I just received mine from the NGDP and I had 2 interviews which were both in the same email if that helps :smile:
They just informed me of the interviews I had been allocated and said the individual councils would be in touch to sort out the logistics.
