Hi all,

Had an email on 12th December saying I had passed the assessment centre. And they would be in touch to discuss further details, however due to a huge amount of applications this will probably happen in January.

I emailed back asking does this mean I am guaranteed a job and she said yes but do not hand in your notice yet.

I have not heard anything since, even though I have emailed them twice.

Is anyone else still waiting like this? Does it usually take this long for them to get back to you with a start date? Is this because they have to wait for positions in your area?

im from portsmouth mate but they've put me down to the petersfield exchange which is about a 15 minute drive from my house, do have another exchange closer which is about a minute drive but im just chuffed i've got a position to be honest!

Seems to be the way they work mate. I’ve only recently passed my assessment centre however seems like they concentrate on the areas that are needing staffed first; which makes sense to be fair.

Whereabouts will you be working in?

Nice one mate. Anyone else waiting for north midlands?

Yeah suppose so, I have a job atm so not in desperate need to start but at the same time can't wait to get started, and the not knowing is annoying me. ha

I will be based In Mid-Wales, Llandrindod Wells I applied for but who knows where they will place me.

So you're waiting for a start date as well then? What area will you be working?

Aw nice! I'm being quoted as July for a start date now.

But think of the nice weather you will get to train in!

Haha yeah true. Training in the winter would be a tough start lol.

At least you know your start date dude!

Some of us still have the agonising wait lol

Were you one of the people that said they had a holiday in May?

If I get through my assessment I have a week in May booked for some time in Cornwall so I will let them know about that so I would not expect a start date until after then.
