It took them about 2 weeks for the check to be completed and for them to get back to me with a start date.

Sorry No - unless they have sent you contact details.

To be honest each office will be different. If you have had an interview and have passed the security checks, which you should do unless you have a criminal history thats not spent, then its a case of waiting till a position becomes available.
