DWP isn't the only government department - I'd suggest anyone waiting on a vacancy from jobcentre, goes to www.civilservice.gov.uk and uses the jobs part of the website to search for jobs. There are AO and EO vacancies frequently advertised.

I was one of the earlier posters who got through and I just hope it works out for those that are waiting. That website is a central hub of jobs right across the civil service and well worth frequently checking.

Good luck

I was going to suggest this too as I've recently started looking there. You will also find that the application/ interview process is similar.

One of the civil service jobs I'm looking at has the same questions you had to rank in order as the DWP job, so that's made that application loads easier.

Dont forget that other departments do not use the central Civil Service Site.. ONS and OIC certainly dont.. so do keep checking the independent websites too.

the civil service website only has a small percent of the vacancies on it. I suggest making a list of government agency websites as you will find more vacancies. There are a number of sites such as http://direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/A-ZOfCentralGovernment/index.htm
where you can get many of the ones required. This link is not a comprehensive list though.

Well I have just had a call regarding a position at the Pension Centre in Burnley.
I start on Monday.:beer::j:T:j
Training is from then until the end of March. At least one part of the DWP is still taking people on. I am on 8 merit lists for JCP which go as far back as September. The interview for this one was on a Sunday in December.

I am looking forward to being back at work.:beer::j:T:j:beer:

:TGreat news Whiskyman - well done mate, from what I have seen and read since I joined on here a month or two ago I feel as though you deserve it probably most out of all of us.

Plus for the rest of us it still proves things are moving.

Congratulations again ( Ps if you hear whats happening re the Manchester ones please let me know !!!)

Many Thanks for all the congrats.
As I said I am still on many merit lists and if I hear anything from any of them I shall let you all know.
Good luck to all still waiting and do not give up hope.
Off for a whisky or two or three or more now.
