I'm the same just waiting have you gone for the Greater Manchester campaign I've accepted my provisional offer at my local jobcentre. I didn't get merited on the reserve list I got a straight provisional offer I've heard conflicting things about the length it takes I mean everyone's circumstances are different but I've heard around 4 week for checks right upto 20 weeks. I would be curious to know how long someone waited to be offered the formal offer from when they first submitted the PEC I've had 2 jobs and a period of unemployment which I've submitted on my PEC

Hi, I’ve applied for the Cumbria and Lancashire campaign. I got the provisional offer straight away too.
Yeah I’m hoping it will be 4 weeks but they don’t give much information on the online chat or emails when you ask DWP so it’s frustrating. I think my health check might be the one causing a bit of a delay but don’t know can only assume 🤷🏻*♀️

Hi all I'm going through pre employment checks anxiously waiting. I had to chase one of my work references they were dragging their feet doing it. I accepted provisional offer etc character reference and dbs are complete and medical is the time scale still around 3 to 4 week etc.

I received an email on 12 December that my checks are successfully completed but i havent heard anything since. I also tried calling the SSL team but they don’t know when I receive further communication from the job centre 😭😭😭 i applied end of August and received provisional offer 23rd October

Yeah I'm Greater Manchester one i believe they are just waiting on the one reference check to be completed from what they have told me on online chat but they don't say much basically just tell you to sit and wait it is frustrating when you just want to get stuck in and start hopefully won't be to long fingers crossed

Thanks for letting me know, I applied for the London campaign, I submitted everything on the 22nd of December and I’ve heard that all my references have been sent back and got my DBS in the post. So everything seems to have been done on my end really. Hope we hear back soon!

Hey, I’ve applied for the same campaign. Still waiting to hear back from my online interview.

Out of curiosity as there is a lot about how the “wording” / updates change.

Can you remember what your status changed too before being told you had passed or given and offer etc ??

Thanks

Hi after I had submitted the interview on 25/10 I i had two status changes and the third and final one was around 7 weeks later on a Friday.

Then I got a provisional offer on the 11/12.

Between the second and third status the wording changes slightly from ‘you should hear from us soon with regard to the outcome’ to ‘being reviewed’.

I’m in the same boat. I know my employer has done their reference but I think it’s the health side of stuff holding things up. I’ve an occ health assessment this week then I’m hoping I hear something 🤞🏻

Hi

Is this health assessment from DWP? How many weeks after the provisional offer did they send you this?

I completed the heath bit of the pre employment, then they sent me a health questionnaire which I completed on 22/12I then got a text on 28/12 saying they had booked me an occupational health appointment for this week.

After the section on the pre employment checks did you get sent a health assessment form to complete? Think it was through FIT4jobs or something? I completed that, then got the occ health appointment. It might be that they are satisfied with what you’ve said and something else is holding it up. It’s such a blag waiting isn’t it. I’m desperate to hand my notice in and get started, I’m currently off work so the sooner the better really.
