Thank-you for your email. I can confirm that Jobcentre Plus are still in talks regarding the freeze on recruitment and we have, as of yet. received no further information on them. However there is nothing to suggest this will not occur before the end of October as originally agreed.

If you have any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks

Just a thought. I've just browsed through a few of the vacancies on the DWP site. It seems most positions are for part time work 4-8pm @ ~£15 150. Am I right in assuming that when the freeze lifts for those of us in affected areas eg West Mids, we shalll probably be offered such a deal?

I know some people with families may not be willing but I think for such amount and such short hours I will be happy.

The pay is pro rata as is based on full time hours so u would have to work out what u would get if it was only part time.

For 20 hours ur probably looking at about just over half of that lol.

EDITED: I just worked it out at 8200.00 approx lol.

Hey, congrats, that's great to hear. May I ask where in London you are located.

I am quite annoyed. I#m from 61298, I am based in Central London. I got a call from North and North East London District offering me two locations, I said I was interested in locations in either the Central or City and East London Districts, I was told I would hear back by the end of the week. I didn't so I called back yesterday to the number for the North and North East London District, the lady said the other two Districts hadn't got back to her e-mail so she would chase them up and call me.

She did this and later called me back and said that there were no locations available in either of the two Districts. If this is the case then why is it someone got Hoxton, Hoxton would have been an ideal locatiopn for me. I really don't know why my file was passed onto a District that ins't local to me.

Out of curiosity, I asked what was available in the North and North East London District, she named two, they seemed a bit far, but later I checked and one seemed ok.. So, what do I do do I wait it out in the hope I might get something in my preferred Districsts, or should I call up and say I'm interested in the location if it's still available, it's a tough decision...

help!

hi thunderbolt,

if i were you, i will call back and tell them am interested in my preferred location if it is till available. Goodluck and lets know how your call goes.

Thanks for the advice mandie2106 and CaptainCavewoman, I realise that other people would have bitten the person's hand off if offered any location. I just called the lady up and said if the location was still available I would take it...it was so I did :j:j:j not really sure if this counts as a call but yeah!!!

I was asked if I was on a notice period, I said I could start from the 26th October.

So here's the timeline if anyone is interested:

5th July: Deadline for excercise IRC 61298
30th July: Lit/Num tests
10th August: Interview
27th August: Successful Letter (No waiting list)
7th September: Received Disclosure Scotland
5th October: Received call offering two locations, my file was passed onto a District that wasn't local to me.
13th October: I called, asking if anything available if my preffered locations, nothing was but there were two available in a different District.
14th October (today): I accept offer, not in my prefered location but still it's a location.

Congrats to anyone else that gets the call, just hang in there if you haven't got it yet.

Congrats thunderbolt

IRC60418 - EO - Coventry

11/07/09 Interview.
16/07/09 Successful letter with waiting list comment.
20/08/09 Received CRB disclosure.

Nothing since, I have tried contacting 0191 2166549 but it either rings out or it is engaged, is anyone experiencing similar problems or does anyone have any alternative contact numbers.

I look forward to any response as it is becoming quite frustrating

Maybe a bit more than that coz it's unsocial hours.

In the civil service 4-8 is not considered to be unsociable hours. Sorry!

Ah well. Not so good for many then. I'm still cool with it coz I was hoping for partime as I am at Uni full time. The money is still ok for a student and the working hours are perfect.

Just worked out what I would get for IRC61418 ~£798 per month. Not bad for a student.

Thanks for that. Suppose it's what we already knew but they keep us in suspense by saying it could happen anytime.
