Interview
Simple and quick values based questions on hospital vision and values. Things like dignity and respect, safety, and similar sorts of things. Very buzzwordy. Was greeted by a manager and had to show proof of identity and fill in some simple forms. Received a background check form also.

I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Ealing, Angleterre) in Aug 2018
Interview
Interview by podiatrist and one other, friendly following a list of question. They did not ask me anything about previous employment or anything specific to the actual job. They didn't tell me much about the job. I felt afterwards that they had already chosen someone and were going through the process. They rang me within an hour of leaving to let me know that although I did great at the interview they had someone more suitable. I took this to mean that someone already within the nhs had applied and got the job. It was good that they let me know so that I wasn't wasting time. I did waste a lot of time as I was early for the interview and they were late to call me which I found a bit disrespectful. Yes interviews take up a lot of time from applying to making sure you are dressed appropriately to getting there.
