    I was just wondering is there anybody from a six month or twelve month waiting list that never got an offer? Does the list get discarded after the set time or do they place everyone from that list eventually? Also, does anyone know what happens when a new recruitment drive happens before the old list is used up - are the new people and score blended with the old wait list?
  • Received a success letter today for IRC61865 (EO in Manchester jc+) on a waiting list for 6 months.

    it says they will contact me as soon as they have any further information, so is there anything else i need to do or do i just wait for them to ring me?

    Also ive never had to do a CRB check before, is there stuff i need to send them or does it all happen automatically?

    HI STEPHL,

    CONGRATULATIONS. I ALSO APPLIED FOR THE EO POSITION UNDER IRC61099 AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS IN THE TOP TEN OF 188 POSTS SO PRESUMED I WOULD GET A CALL FIRST !!! I CALLED UP NEWCASTLE YESTERDAY AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT POST ANYONE YET UNTIL ALL PEOPLE CHECKS WERE COMPLETED - LOOKS LIKE YOU MAY HAVE BEEN THE FIRST UNLESS THEY WERE CRYING OUT FOR STAFF WHERE YOU ARE BASED.

    DO YOU KNOW WHAT NUMBER ON THE MERIT LIST YOU WERE?

    WHAT JC+ HAVE YOU BEEN POSTED AT? I HOPE I GET THE BIRKENHEAD AREA WHICH IS MY CLOSEST BRANCH.

    I WAS INTERVIEWED ON FRIDAY 31ST JULY AT WARRINGTON GATEWAY.

    WELL DONE ANYWAY :j

    CHEERS,

    If it makes you feel any better...although probably not... I haven't heard either. I didn't even get a list of possible locations to choose from.

    If you filled in the correct forms at your interview, it will happen automatically. They will then send you the disclosure forms after they have looked at them for you to keep. Just have to sit back and wait, and wait, and wait!! Good luck with getting a place though. If you want, you can ring them up and ask how far along it is moving. If you have a waiting list letter it could be a bit longer.

    cant believe how long things have took to just get this far, im hoping for my 2 local ones as im not sure if they have parking for Bailey court or Cavendish, whereas my 1st and 2nd choices, (woodhouse or eastern avenue) have great parking, but as long as i dont get donnie or barnsley id be a happy bunny :j (as they too far for me)
