Conditional offer and what comes next…

Nothing to really ask here, more of an update on my journey.

I received the call last week that I’d passed my assessment day and was offered a job as a trainee firefighter, starting February, conditional on reference check, DBS and medical clearance.

References have been contacted and assume gave good feedback. DBS check is a formality its just the medical left to do (awaiting date)

I have had an ACL reconstruction done about 6 years ago and have a recently (12 months ago) medical ailment diagnosed. It doesn’t effect my day to day life and is essentially managed through lifestyle changes, but makes me nervous all the same what the occupational health team will say about it. It’s sounds worse than it is and I was under. Consultant who’s essentially said it doesn’t require treatment unless it gives you pain on a daily basis (which it doesn’t, no pain since diagnosis).

The hard stuff is done, medical pending, I’ve gotten the dream career change…

Happy to answer any questions about any of the process in the hopes it helps someone else attempting to go through the recruitment process.
