DWP Work Coach 716 Leeds/ West Yorkshire

I've been reserve listed, does anybody know the contact to enquire about my position on the Reserve List?

I don't. I'm not sure if they might tell you on live chat?

I'll try that. And congrats on the result, what's your first choice location?

I put the two in Leeds for this one but I will take anything East of Leeds and potentially other West Yorkshire/North Yorkshire if I get offered anything.

Did you see my message above?

Thank you. I got 12. I knew as soon as I got that email I was getting reserve list.

Aww.. well done! There must have been applicants with really high scores. Fingers crossed you won’t be on the list too long xx.

Congratulations! Did you asked for your position on reserve list?

Thank you. I've just messaged them and asked. I've gotta wait for an email from DWP.

They got back to me just now

Me too. I'm 71 on the list.

I wonder how many people are on the list. Seems like a lot

Were you Leeds too? I'm guessing you're on the same list?

I'm Leeds, but there were two Leeds offices on there, so it could be a different list. Leeds Park Place was my first choice so I'll be on that list I'd imagine. What about yourself?

I applied for Park Place and Southern House but it will include people that just applied for Dewsbury and Guiseley as well and may have others from a previous campaign in the same area.

Really? I thought each location would have a separate list, that's quite good then. So in your experience these lists are a combination of all locations, and even different campaigns?

Yes 😊 When my last work coach contract was coming to an end, we could apply for other permanent work coach positions in the area as they had less positions than the amount of us on temp contracts. Anyway, I was at Wakefield and applied for Wakefield and Leeds areas, I ended up on the reserve list. A few weeks later I was offered a different position but the same EO grade at Dean Clough in Halifax. By that time I had a different job lined up. So if you live in Leeds they may offer you a job anywhere surrounding and you tell them whether you want it or not.
