Well Im a step closer.....DWP contacted me today via email to ask if I had my pre employment checks already done by my current employer (Im already a civil servant). So fingers crossed the ball is now rolling for my district and I will get a start date soon....

Lol, yeah, I got that too. Assume they've given up doing it properly, and just gone "you ok to work here, yeah?" seeing as current dept seems to be dragging feet.

Finally got the phone call this afternoon - yay! PA role in my 5th choice location in Kent - which is fine as it's about 30 mins drive.
Such a relief :j

I scored 40, in durham and tees

Finally got "the call" with formal offer and start date! I was on the reserve list with a score of 34 and didn't really expect to get anything but have been offered North and West London. I rejected West and went for North as it's closer to me.

Timeline of process:
21st Jan: Applied
5th March: Interview
22nd April: Reserve list
11th May: Provisional offer
7th June: Formal offer

The phone call should come in within a week of when you receive back your Disclosure Scotland. They offer you start dates as soon as a week from the call. I, unfortunately, needed a months notice so had to go for 9th July.

I hope, for those that are waiting, you will hear some good news soon.
