DWP EO Job Centre Work Coach - March 2024

Hi, I applied for the above role the beginning of March and received an email last Tuesday to say that I had passed the SJT and they would be taking my application to the next stage. Am I right in thinking that this is the sift stage for the evidence given in relation to the behaviours? If so, how long does this normally take? What is usually the process from here?
Also, if anyone else from Merseyside has applied for this then it would be good to be kept updated 😅

Good luck - I have just completed it. I think I fluffed up the first question but hopefully the second and third will outweigh that

Completed mine yesterday for the Merseyside area also. Hopefully with it just being 3 questions, the sifting of the videos is completed relatively quickly! Good luck to all :smile:

The way the interviews are it’s only natural to freeze. Hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait.

I don’t actually know if mine did - when I checked it it seemed to be worded differently but I wasn’t sure I was just going crazy 😂 what does yours say now?

It now says: Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. You should hear from us soon with regards to the outcome.

Before it said something about waiting for it to be reviewed.

I’m not going crazy then as I’m sure mine had said it was to be reviewed and now it says about being informed of the outcome. I think from what I’ve read on other threads, there are 3 statements, with the first one being when you first submit it, the second one which we have now once they have watched it and then the third one if you are successful but I can’t remember what the wording is from the top of my head.

I’ve read that too. My status has just changed to “Thank you very much for completing the interview. Your application is being reviewed” Has anyone else had this?

Ahh I’m sorry to hear that. To be honest, I felt the same about my interview too. Pre-recorded ones are super difficult. Wishing you luck in your job search journey - don’t give up!

Seems to be pretty consistent across other threads that this means we’ve been successful. Just a case of whether this means RL or offer. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Has any received the SJT score for this role? I got mine through today at 316, but haven't advanced to next stage. From what am aware there is a recruitment freeze at the minute with the dwp so no other vacancies will be available for the next couple of months.
