Okay so I'm now going crazy. I just had a copy of my Disclosure sent on from DWP and was mega nervous opening the letter!! I really hope this ends soon...I'm almost as edgy waiting for the call as I was waiting to hear whether I'd been successful and then waiting for the reserve offer to convert to provisional!

Gk..hehee, I think Anyone would be nervous opening mail from dwp, while we wait for a blocked number phone call or " paperwork ", still one month to go for us now, 18 June is so far. But we will hear something in 2 weeks time I guess.

Hi Sue, DWP would not be able to use this CRB. Each employer need their own. Basically, the disclosure goes out of date as soon as it is prepared and sent. Dwp would need to do their own and not be able to use this one I am afraid.

Congrats Sara, you seem to have got a very interesting role. I have been wondering myself (as someone else also asked) how they offered job role---overall scores, specific competencies or random. As far asI remember, I was offered Personal Advisor which sounds least interesting out of all the others. The only good thing is that there is no line management responsibility within this role I imagine. Good luck to all waiting for further news?

Avacado, the PA role is really interesting and varied as you meet many different types of people, all with their own challenges about getting back into work. One customer might be a professional who has been laid off, your next may be a homeless person with substance misuse issues. Every day is different which I found great as otherwise work can get very boring if it's the same all the time.
