DWP Work Coach 716 Leeds/ West Yorkshire

Hi!

I'm just wondering if anyone else has applied for 716 for the work coach positions.

I've been through this before and was a work coach in 2020-2022 but I'm finding the wait daunting again.

Did my interview yesterday, can't really say I did my best to be honest

I had prepared absolutely well only for my brain to answer questions wrongly. I mistakenly used managing a quality service senerio for Communication and influencing 😬

I am sure you've done absolutely fine. A lot of scenarios we use can be used for different behaviours.

I find all the waiting daunting. I went through this process 4 years ago and it's definitely not got any easier.

Fingers crossed
This is what mine is showing

I got invited for the interview on 07/11/2024 for this position and did my pre recorded interview on 08/11/2024. Contacted them on live today and they said their waiting for the recruitment panel to get back to them. It’s so daunting having to wait around! However after reading over forums for this position when you see on the portal that your application is being reviewed it means it’s a positive sign and we’ve got the job apparently?

I also got invited on the 7th and did mine on the 8th. I hope the recruitment panel come back within the next couple of days. The next stage takes a good while too so I'd like to get the ball rolling.
My status is exactly the same as when I first submitted. The wording changes slightly if your application is being progressed. I think it's slightly shorter.
I can't believe how on edge I am when I've done it before.
Good luck! Keep us posted on how you get on.

What does your status say now exactly? Mine says “Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. Your application will now be reviewed by our team and you will be contacted soon with the outcome.

That's exactly what mine says. It's not changed from that since I interviewed. Last time I did this and got the job it changed at least once before I found out but last time it was only a few days between interview and me doing my ID checks and my security clearance forms. It was then a few weeks for all the checks to come back and the references to make contact.

Mine says the same thing as well. Monday will make it a week.
Yes your status would change at least 3 times if you are to be successful.
The last one will say something in the lines of "thank you very much for completing the interview"
I know this because I am on a reserve list for one campaign I applied for.

Hi, as a dummy wouldn't pose any harm to anyone it shouldn't need to be removed. The claimant would need to be able speak with the work coach so if they couldn't take it out to speak it may be a barrier and the may need further assistance to help them communicate. Work coaches need to be open and inclusive to everyone no matter their background or health conditions.

I did my interview on October 29th and when I checked this morning it was still saying "Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. Your application will now be reviewed by our team and you will be contacted soon with the outcome." but I've just logged on now and it has changed to "Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. You should hear from us soon with regards to the outcome." So took about three weeks for the status to change.

Wow it takes so long. Hopefully you get a response soon. What area did you apply for?
