HMCTS Summer Intern 2023

Hello everyone,

I am starting to get a little worried since my application is taking very long at this point and I haven’t even completed the pre-employment checks.
Currently my application is going through “higher security check/ health check” and I don’t even know how long it will take.

Can some tell me hold long it took for your applications until you got your contract??


Thank you!

Hi!

A few of us in the other thread (https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7331811) are getting worried too as it is taking a very long time for contracts to come through and there is nobody who can update us on progress.

We all seem to have applied for London courts.

Hey,

Yes I have also applied to the London courts. I contacted the recruitment team via phone to ask them how long it takes for the higher pre-employment check/ health check to be completed and the person on the phone said 6-8 weeks. The problem is that I start my final year of uni at the end of September, and if I wait 8 weeks just for the pre employment check to be completed I’m worried it will clash with my uni.

they really need to speed some things up. I know there is a lot of applicants but surely they can speed up a little bit…

thank you for your reply.
it calmed me down a little knowing I’m not the only one 😅.

So I got a call today asking me if I could start on the 17th July but no word about which court I am allocated to. The caller said they let their line mgr know my start date. Hopefully this means a contract soon?

Ooooh! That’s a wonderful news!! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you!! 👏🏻🥳
Maybe the next couple of days you will find out! Whichever court it is, what matters is the experience and you have worked very hard for this!

Let me know how it goes!! Keep in touch! 😊
