Hey, sent in my application yesterday and just did the online test. Waiting to see if I passed it! I'm hoping to switch into Social Work after working in Marketing and Comms for quite a few years! What about everyone else?

Hopefully, you hear back soon
I have been working in education with special needs children, and that has motivated me to do social work
What region did you apply for

Hi,
I have applied too. Passed the online test and just waiting for the competency review. I applied last year but was not able to get on as I applied too late for my reigion so hoping I have better luck this year

I live in Bristol, so applied to placements in the South West (Bristol, Bath, NS, SG). What about you? I'm hoping to get on to a Social Work Assistant role soon.. I passed the test but now waiting to see if they progress me to the next stage. Have you heard back yet?

Same, I’ve got the test out the way. And waiting for Frontline to review my questions. Wanted to apply as early as possible as reading through the other threads seems like there can be difficulties in getting a slot at the assessment centre or placement in your preferred location.

I was just waiting for the assessment centre last time but they were not able to offer me on based on spaces. I applied for the West Midlands so that filled up quite quickly I assumed

If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply last time? Also, how long did it take them to reply after the online test? I'm so nervous, I'm looking at East Midlands

Hi, I applied end of November last year. I did not find it until then. I found out the day after I did the test whether I passed or not

Glad I got my application in early. I wouldn’t have considered November a late application! You should be on track to get in on the assessment centre this time round

I have been told I passed the online test and to prepare my documents, but I haven't sent them
I'm waiting for them to check my questions.
The wait is so hard

That is fantastic news, I won't be in the UK in November, so I was hoping it's online
However, I do pray it happens mid-October
