DWP Work Coach Interview

[Angie524]

Hi
Has anyone had a DWP Work Coach interview recently? I was wondering what to expect?
Thank you.

They talk to you about what you are doing to try and get back into work, what they expect you to do to keep getting UC and what support the cam give

Thank you. I am applying for a role of Work Coach.

Hi,

The interview will be a mix of competency and strength based questions.

The one I had was 6 questions with 5 of the questions being competency based.

Mine was a pre-recorded interview, so you can do it at a time that suits you - the email will tell you the deadline for completion.

You get 1 practice question so you get a feel for it. The question is asked and you then get 1 minute to think about your answer before the recording starts - you will then have 3 minutes to answer the question. After 3 minutes the recording will stop so make sure you can get your main points across in that time - I practiced some answers and timed myself lol.

Using the STAR method, focus on what YOU did in each example . Make sure that you read and understand the behaviours from the advert for the EO level (level 2) and try to cover as many points as you can.

Good luck!
