Do you by any chance know how long it typically takes to be offered a position from the reserve list?

I worked for the dwp for 22 years. Left only just 6 months ago and missed it so reapplied.

It really does vary but you will get an offer it just depends on location.

They work through reserve lists quickly so fingers crossed 🤞

Thanks, and to you too 😊 Preston, Burnley and the Bolton locations. Do you know roughly how long in your experience they take to start contacting people?

Just spoke to my old manager and see seems to think they will start allocating next week. It's such a long process.

Awww that's brilliant! I also got a reply but 496th on the reserve list, so I don't think I'm going to get my hopes up about it 😂. Only put 2 locations down too (Hyde, Ashton-under-Lyne) x

I chatted in the morning when I was at the GP. And the lady said I was going to be getting someone from the team to contact. Which they did

I picked Ashton. Didsbury. Salford

Today I got an email, asking me to validate my Id and right to work, does anyone know what that means since I’ve been on reserve list for over 4 months now
