I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Bradford, Yorkshire and the Humber, England) in Dec 2021
Interview
Very friendly interviewer and very relaxed, informal interview. It was more like a conversation, asked me about my personal career goals, current projects and academics. It was laidback and put my nerves at rest which was nice.
Much less intimidating than I thought, very humane and they made me feel at ease. I felt well supported throughout and never felt like they were trying to catch me out. The conversation flowed easily and they gave me plenty of time so I didn’t feel rushed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about how I would handle a confidentiality situation.
two interviewers on site the board director and manager
three parts practical interview- showing how to work in clinical setting and a follow up feedback from manager
asked quite difficult questions so be cautious and communicate well
Not a bad experience. It was smooth as questions asked were something I had prepared for, so it was a smooth process for me. The interviewers were also very friendly and make the experience good too
