Behavioral

It was all competency and situation based questions. I was asked maybe 7-10 questions and was able to answer them all due to a previous care position. This interview would be difficult without previous experience due to the questions being centred around service users. I have heard that some have been tailored for people with no care experience.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • In what ways have you improved a service user's care?

Had a casual face-to-face chat at the job site with the senior support worker. Mostly talked about my skills and past work history. They also shared details about the company and the kind of work I'd be doing there, along with info about the patients and their reasons for being with Priory.
