The links are broken, what a bunch of idiots. It got delayed for 5 days and they couldn't even fix it.

Guess we're all in the same boat, If it ain't fixed guess it means waiting 2 days and applying the normal way.

Same for me.
It doesn't let you Sign Out either (Google for the workaround)
EDIT: They've fixed it now. Applications are submitting, with a confirmation email.

Can confirm you can now submit priority applications via the link. They appear to have scrapped the new site and have fallen back on the one that dates back more than 10 years.

I notice there is still no way to apply for a specific mail centre where multiple mail centres are listed per location. The only thing you can do is add a note and hope they read it. Really annoying for people who rely on public transport that only covers one location.

Job postings don't say if breaks are paid, which makes a difference.

Would the Xmas casuals be getting weekly pay? Or is it monthly now?

Breaks were paid in 2023/2024, when I started.

Has anyone had any problems this year with application? I’ve sent documents when the priority link went out but still says checks in progress, alarming as I’d usually have an offer within a few days to a week
