I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Margate, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
Met some of the supervisors on a tour of the office to get a feel for the working environment.
Had a chat about my CV with a panel of interviewers covering my experience, skills and what I could bring to the role.
After that, I was asked to transcribe a hand written letter including technical language on MS word.
Finally, I completed a skills assessment involving basic maths, grammar and comprehension.
It was a pleasant experience, a panel consisting of two people who were very friendly. It consisted of six questions split evenly between them and they were behaviour based questions.

Interview
Mental Health Admin/Receptionist - Monkwearmouth Hospital. It was a 30 minute interview - it felt rushed. Their verbal nods gave me the feel of "ok hurry up" - but answering an interview question with the STAR format isn't that quick. They had around 4-6 questions. I have only just found this site so I am trying to remember the best I can.
