seamless and fair, slightly longer process, than I expected but all information was clear and given to me well in advance. A very good process. all information was processed.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS in Dec 2019
Interview
Application process is all done via the NHS jobs website and involves filling out the usual personal information and then writing a short essay about how you meet the job requirements, your experience and career motivations/aspirations. If you are successful then you get invited via text/email to attend an interview. I was able to choose a slot that suited me from a choice of three different days and four different times on each. The interview process was friendly and quite informal although there were three interviewers which seemed a bit excessive for an entry-level job and the reception staff and the interviewers neglected to communicate with each other and so no one was told I had arrived until I prompted them. The questions were quite straightfoward and simple - the interviewers wrote notes as I answered each question and they laid out the plan for the interview beforehand. Afterwards I asked to have a look around the lab and was shown round by a very friendly member of staff and asked some questions about training to other employees. I was disappointed again with the lack of communication after the interview as they did not get in contact to tell me that I was unsuccessful, even when I wrote and asked for clarification.
