Had AC2 this afternoon. Anybody had any experience on how long you have to wait to get an answer?

If it's anything like last time, successful people were called within 2 working days.

Would be nice to hopefully get an AC1 invite soon.

It's actually pretty impressive how fast you've got through all these selection assessments, well done fella!

Did they give you any idea when your course would be if you were successful?

They said the background checks can take some time so until they are completed they can't give a start date.

Anyone on here had their assessment centre cancelled due to the venue no longer being available on 24th April and are unable to book another one?

Interesting - the advert has been updated to include this year's pay increase for the full time role, but the part time has remained frozen at £23463.

They've only just realised we do 16 hours a week and not 15, maybe they'll get it right for the next advert

My invitation on the scheduling site is showing as "closed". Anyone else in this position?!

I couldn't sort it online so I phoned them. The guy on the phone was really helpful and booked me in at Ashfield House on Saturday 29th April instead.

Hello all - First post. Great forum! I too have applied for this and not heard anything back since the online situational judgment test. I take heart from the earlier poster that said last time around people were receiving assessment invites despite applying after he did etc. That said, if some people have already completed AC2 it can't be a good sign for those of us that have heard nothing at all..? The advert closes this Monday right? so I imagine we'll hear either way in the next few weeks maybe..

My background is pretty much all IT with a bit of retail ages ago. So this may be counting against me / not what they're looking for. I did my best to write what I believe was a convincing cover letter highlighting customer service in my positions etc. And also tried to leverage other things I thought would help. The situational judgement test I found to be just common sense and as long as you had a bias towards safety (or customer service if not a safety related question) I think it would be hard to fail and the correct answer was clear. But I could be wrong of course!

I was just curious if anyone else who has heard back (and those who haven't heard too actually) wanted to share their backgrounds? I was thinking maybe people who had worked in emergency services or perhaps bus drivers etc would get approached first. Particularly if as has been suggested there are 1000s of applications. I guess they need to discard a high number somehow.

Anyway good luck to all those still waiting to hear, as well as those who have already done the assessments waiting for news. One thing I've learned from reading the many threads on here is that it can be a slow process in this industry!
