It was pretty straightforward. The interviewers were nice and included someone with lived experience on the panel, which was a good touch. It felt like they really wanted me to do well. They asked about my day-to-day responsibilities.

The interview was held on Whatsapp video call, which I found very unprofessional. Their internet connection was having issues and hence they switched the interview to a regular phone call. Furthermore, the interview panel members who were supposed to conduct the interview were not present, instead there were some other members of the institution who were just mentioned during the phone call. The interview was supposed to start at 11.15 am, however it started 20 mins later which I was not informed of. Overall, it was a very unprofessional experience.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process at the NHS is quite challenging and can be anxiety-inducing, but it does follow national equal opportunity guidelines. In my experience, there was an interview panel of three to four people. This panel consisted of the team service manager, a consultant psychiatrist, a family therapist, and a service user. They asked me about 8 questions, some of which were two-part, focusing on my professional and interpersonal skills.

Behavioral Case

There were 3 interview panel members, they were very attentive and helpful. They made me feel relax. I was feeling welcome from the first minute and the interview was fluent and interesting. Panel members were asking questions in turns: one was asking 2-3 questions and then the next panellist was taking over to ask another set of questions.
