      Employment Specialist Interview

      17 May 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Shaw Trust in Jan 2022

      Interview

      I had to prepare and deliver a presentation focussed on a potential service user, considering the first 30 days on the IPS program and based on the fidelity model. The interview also included questions that were competency based.

      Employment Specialist Interview

      23 Jul 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shaw Trust (London, England) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      The process included an initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by two video interviews. I was then invited to a three-stage assessment involving a PowerPoint presentation, a CV review, and several competency-based questions. While I appreciated the opportunity to engage with the team and demonstrate my experience, I found the lack of feedback—despite the time and effort invested—very discouraging. This was particularly surprising given the organisation’s stated values around caring for people, supporting potential, inclusivity, collaboration, and honesty. I hope future candidates receive more transparent communication to reflect those values in practice.

      Question 1

      How would you support a participant struggling with a chronic MSK condition that impacts their ability to work?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shaw Trust in Jun 2025

      Interview

      The phases: 10 minute presentation, CV review, and regular interview (all in one day). The presentation you prepare beforehand and you will be prompted what to focus on. CV review - they give you an example CV and you note for 10 min your feedback and then present to a person. Interview questions, just a couple standard ones on KPIs, working in the community, supporting people with mental health issues into employment. You do each activity one by one, there will be around 10 other people but you will be grouped.

      Question 1

      How would you ensure you meet the KPIs (they are really target focused company so really prepare for it)

      Application

      I interviewed at Shaw Trust (London, England)

      Interview

      The interview process was very swift and straightforward. The interviewers made me feel at ease with icebreaker questions. At the end was offered a role after quite a tedious round of interview questions
