Hi,
I've also applied for the same role, how did you find the application process? I came here wondering how long we'll have to wait to find out if we're through to interview! 🙂

Yeah it wasn't too bad, I just submitted it in the end as I was overthinking it. Just wondering when we're going to hear anything, mine changed to 'application being reviewed' on the 22nd but nothing since.

Hope you hear back soon! No I haven’t had any changes either, but I think even if we’re rejected we will be told

Good luck if you go for it :-).
I'm already on a reserve list for a previous CPS role as a Caseworker. I really don't understand their recruitment processes.

Thank you, I will!
Wow that's amazing, and strange you didn't get past this stage. It's very long winded for a low paid job,.

I've been on the waiting list for nearly a year!
I don't expect to get offered anything through that route hence this most recent application.
it's all very odd.
Good luck with the paralegal role. hopefully things are more straightforward:-)

Hi Jess,

I've received an email saying that I met the required standard but am being placed on a waiting list.

As we had to select multiple options for locations, am I being placed on a waiting list for all of them or only my first choice? From your experience, how does this process work?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @Alejandro5648 ,

Congratulations on your successful application! You're placed on the reserve list for the area you interviewed with - for example in the north west area, you could be offered a role in offices based in Manchester, Preston or Carlisle.

If you respond to our early careers team through the email you've received, they'll be happy to confirm which area you're on the reserve list for 🙂
