CPS Legal Trainee Scheme

I live in Manchester and have been offered Wales!!!?? I really don't understand

Anyone else still waiting?

It is so bizarre ! I know we are so lucky and thank you so much to everyone being so supportive and excellent suggestions of inn scholarship- I am going to look into this.

This is my last try and in my mid-30s and having lived in London 12 years, it’s just so disheartening to think that (if I can get Inn funding) I will need to uproot, leave my home and be isolated from everyone and everything in my life currently - or be entirely unable to afford to make the move at this time in my life on that salary.

I know it is so annoying to hear but if today you were rejected please don’t lose hope, it’s taken me years of trying and I’ve met people at the Inn dinners who also took many tries. It’s to do with the sheer amount of people rather than ability - sending you all so much luck for next time. If you can grab paralegal roles in civil service. I think Covid inquiry are recruiting - I know it’s not ideal but it’s a good demo of public service for next time xx

Congratulations for getting the offer, I would recommend speaking to their recruitment team about changing locations before considering turning it down. It appears there was the same issue last year in last year’s thread. I’d be surprised if they’d be willing to lose a good candidate over it.

Has anyone heard from the CPS over the weekend or today?

No, I haven’t heard anything since the email on Friday - I had hoped we might hear fairly quickly as their email said “we are sure you will have questions” so to email, but if we can’t hear back before the acceptance deadline then it doesn’t really allow us to ask anything

My post was aimed at those of us who haven’t heard at all, but good to know they haven’t emailed you back over us

I was in the same boat as you last Friday. But I heard on Tuesday morning - have you tried to contact them?

I was going to contact them today - would you happen to have any contact details for them?

Try [email protected] but I think their response time is 3 working days. And so sorry to her that you are still in limbo. That must be torture.

I’ve just emailed that email address and got an auto-reply stating it will take 3 days for a response.

I think they’ve forgotten about me 🤷🏽*♀️

Just a quick one. I put Bristol as my first choice location but have been told i could be based in Exeter or Truro, not locations i would be willing to locate.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of discretion in location choice and whether they will enable you to change location if you have extenuating circumstances?
