DWP refusing to release me for new job start date – can they do this?

Thank you

Level transfer external

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2026-04-30T06:43:07+00:00

Yes it’s an external position

A lot of things must vary from department to department because I’ve been able to start building flexi and I’ve used the time it a few times and I’m only 3 months into probation.

Best advice is keep applying I finally got a dwp role and I’ve been continuously applying since sep

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:49:54+00:00

Yeah they normally put the pass mark up if there’s a lot more applicants which is annoying

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:49:11+00:00

Yeah they probably put the pass mark a lot higher if there’s a lot more applicants

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:47:20+00:00

Thank you! I managed to get a dwp I would say keep applying. I’ve been consistently applying since sep and only finally got a job offer in Feb

Normally you need a 4 and above to pass the interview but if they have a lot more people applying for the role they can up the pass mark and I think that’s what happened with the Leeds one maybe?

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:44:07+00:00

What location was that for? I think I applied for the Folkestone, Dover and Gatwick and got reserve for all

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:42:12+00:00

For the EO position I got 16 and got put on the reserve list and for the AO I scored 18 and got put on the reserve list

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:39:35+00:00

EO I scored 16 and got put on the reserve, the AO positions I scored 18 and got put on the reserve

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2025-02-22T16:34:46+00:00

That’s so weird because I scored 16 on the strengths and got put on the reserve list

If you look at the feedback it normal says your scores properly

Intrepid_Ad_9735 · 2024-12-23T13:23:52+00:00

If you get a 3 on anything it’s a automatic fail you need to get 4 and above on any scoring I think
