I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Southend, Scotland) in Apr 2022
Interview
NHS nurse interview involves assessing clinical skills, teamwork, and commitment to patient care. Competency-based questions, scenario discussions, and a values-focused approach ensure a comprehensive evaluation of candidates. Very helpful interview process.
Not very difficult, but you have to be prepared. Networks do not matter, the most important thing is loving your job and being prepared to answer the questions. Overall not a bad experience.

Great process looking at whole person, good competencies and questions asked. Made to feel comfortable and timescales shared. Follow up not needed. Good understanding of my cv before hand. All stages communicated well to me in advance.
As expected. Application via NHS jobs. Interview with a panel of three people from the relevant department. Asked about the role, and a selection of about six competancy based interview questions.
