Easy, group assessments. NHS values, competency questions, prior experience. Very easy, simple and straightforward. Quick turnaround too, find out within a day or two if it's successful. Usually 2 stages, not sure why for a band 2 role....
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you demonstrated compassionate care
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.
