Will be giving gidea Park a crack. Now to just hope to be selected to give that pesky VSE another go.
I’ll be giving that depot a go too.

I saw these posted last week but when you went to apply it said internal only, had a feeling they would be external soon after. Cheers.

I’m going to ask the usual question: can I relocate? It isn’t clear

I’m in the same boat as you I feel! I have still given it a go...will wait and see.
This is my first ever TD application so not holding out much hope coming from a construction background- but fingers crossed

submitted it anyway, I see that there's a withdraw button so if we find out for certain you cant relocate I will just withdraw it so I don't waste their time

Well I've thrown my hat in too :) There were no questions about suitability for the role on this one I noticed, and nowhere to mention relocating, so I uploaded a Covering Letter in the CV section, hoping they would see that as showing initiative rather than an inability to follow instructions :-/

But what will be will be.

Anyone have any idea how many hours a week this job is for the pay etc?

It does not seem to give that info.. is it the standard 4 days 35 hrs shift pattern etc?

Put in for Gidea Park, fingers crossed.

Application says a February 2019 start for Old Oak Common and a March 2019 start for Gidea Park and Maidenhead in case anyone missed that.

Me too.

Anyone have any experience to share on these?

They’re pretty standard multiple choice “what would you do in this scenario” type things, nothing you can really “prepare” for. Just answer honestly.

I’m assuming they send the SJT out to everyone who applied? Just as a means of whittling down the numbers without manual intervention...
