I applied through college or university. I interviewed at NHS (Londra, Inghilterra)
Interview
Discriminatory and selective towards certain ethnicities and genders. They advertise these roles but once in the interview room, you can clearly see these roles are rolled out for a select few
Was fairly quick - had 3 stages (written test - group discussion - final panel interview), for me most tough was group discussion. Written test was based on the trust's values and I had to frame answer according to them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me how I would handle safeguarding issues or when a patient gets angry and unaccomodating.
Standard interview with three members of staff.
Did not like that when I went to get the job discription and notes I had prepared for interview out they said I wasn’t allowed to use any notes and should have asked before as an adjustment.
I’ve never been to an interview before and been stopped. It was just the JD and a sheet where I had written three questions I wanted to ask at the end but even after explaining that I wasn’t allowed to use.
Despite this I got the job.
