Frontline 2026

I found the interview the easiest and most predictable. It’s the only opportunity for the assessors to get to know you as a person and for you to demonstrate your motivation and experience. The best way to prepare for the interview is by having a good grasp of all the competencies and having a prepared STAR answer that you can adapt in real time. You’d also need to be comfortable being vulnerable and sharing a bit about yourself.
I found the role play the hardest and thought I did the worst in this activity. My advice is to make sure you show empathy towards the parent regardless of what they’re throwing at you. Focus on what you are trying to get out of the conversation but also make sure you listen and are understanding of the parent’s experience. Be honest during the reflection and try and implement those changes in your second time round.
For the written assessment. Just make sure you read the case study in advance. Answer the question asked and explain how/why you have come to that conclusion. The 40 minutes goes very quickly so make sure you plan your time well.

I’ve just heard from them today, that I passed the application questions. I’ve just uploaded my documents and the work experience. Now for the painful wait to see if I’ve made it on to the Assessment Centre stage! 🤞🏽

Hi all!
I have an upcoming assessment centre day but work have declined my request to take time off on that day. Does anyone know if there is a phone number you can use to contact the team so that you can reschedule the assessment centre?

Anyone else absolutely dreading the role play section of the assessment centre 🥲 nervous to the point I kept convincing myself to back out!

Hey, just thought I would chime in! I am currently on the programme and LOVE IT. I was soooo nervous too and almost backed out. But in social work you will learn you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable! You've got this 🔥🔥

Hi!
Thanks for this!
Also- if successful at the assessment centre, during the eligibility checks, what happens in regards to medical checks? I have suffered with tiredness but have this under control and would hate for the gp to make it sound worse than it is!! Do you just self declare or do they always ask for a gp health check?

Still waiting for my documents to be approved before getting AC date. Anyone else waiting for AC date and how long?
