I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (London, England) in Apr 2023
Interview
I had the lead of the service, senior clinical psychologist and a service user on my interview. It was a very pleasant experience overall. I came to the site, and after I finished my interview I got a call that afternoon (my interview was at 11), to tell me I was successful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked 6 questions, 2 of them were focused on research projects I have done so far and I was asked the importance and implications of those projects. One of the question was about how I solved conflict within a team, one of them was how I applied psychological theory to clinical setting. There was a question about my weaknesses too and the first question was to tell them about myself.
The interview was in-person and lasted about 45 minutes. I was asked 6 questions and the question were mostly average in difficulty, none of them took me by surprise. They asked about supervision, my interest in the specific service, understanding of the problems this population faces.

Welcoming and friendly staff.
Arrived for the interview and was given a vignette to formulate an individual for a short time. Then went into the interview room, and the main interview was comprised of 7 questions. 4 of the questions were based on things like motivation, dealing with conflict etc. and 3 of the questions were scenario based including a question on the vignette given at the start of the interview, to go through the formulation you developed.
