How long do NHS bank applications take?

Hellooo
I’m a 2nd year student radiographer and I applied for a bank HCA role in ct/mri. The head of the department told me to go for it and said he’d authorise it, so I thought it would move quite quickly.

I applied late July and then in August nhsp sent out the authorisation request, and then in early September my manager confirmed he’d approved my application and sent it back. Since then the only thing I’ve had is the TrustID check, but my portal is still saying “awaiting trust authoriser” and I’ve not had any dbs, oh or training tasks yet.

Has anyone else had this? How long did it take after your trust approved it before things actually started moving? I’m starting to stress a bit because I really need some money coming in should I just wait it out or start looking for something else in the meantime?
Thank youu
