So I started a job recently at DWP in CMS centred around benefits and I’m really enjoying the team and being in the CS. However, I found out before starting that I was being placed on the reserve list for the Compliance Caseworker 588r role at a position that I feel it’s likely I will get called up at some point within the year.

My thing is that this potential role pays about 3k more a year which is a noticeable amount but I’m really not sure how the workload/ team/ stress is going to compare and if it’s worth it. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge around this?

So I’ve just been offered a job in Child benefits at DWP which I’m so happy about, however I’m also currently waiting to hear how I’ve done in a Compliance Caseworker intray assessment.

Because of the money and type of work I would prefer the latter job, my question is if I’m lucky enough to get that second job can I take that instead? I’ve heard you can’t transfer in probation but I don’t know how it works pre start date/ if the rules are different because I’ve applied to both before starting at HMRC.

I hope that makes sense and I appreciate anyone’s wisdom!!
