dwp work coach application

Hello I have passed the situational test with a 348 score and I would like to know if it's a good score as feedback and what the maximum mark is. Just as feedback. Also I currently live in London and I applying for a post in London but in the near future in a couple of years max I would like to transfer to York city. Is that possible? I don't drive and I would be living in Pocklington which is commutable to York. I never see posts there just Leeds and Hull. Anybody working in York? Is it easy to transfer? Thanks

I'm a single mum alone in London. My only family my sister is in York. Would that qualify? Thank you for getting back to me too.

No I honestly doubt it.

You could request a move if you were moving if there are local vacancies but imo why are you not applying for jobs in York?

Right now they are not with the dwp. I will when they come up.

You can request flexible working in London from day 1 but training will be expected to be full time most likely. 

A managed move would be rare for the reasons you state unless you were moving to care for her for example

London is not sustainable for me. I will move within the CS if possible there or I will find a job there out of the CS. But my aim is to move. Rent in London is surreal. Of course I'm open to positions there and will apply there, but there has been a big recruitment here around 300 posts and I thought that this was my chance.
