I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS in Jun 2014
Interview
Written test to test basic communication skills necessary for the job. This was done at a test centre. Then face to face questions with the manager and senior admin at the actual place of work.
Good straightforward process, friendly interviewers on the panel. Scenario-based questions related to the job role and some questions related to confidentiality and patient safeguarding. Involved an admin based task e.g. completing spreadsheet as part of the interview process.

I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Stone, England)
Interview
I was asked about how I have dealt with data breaches in my past roles (weird), even though that wasn’t a requirement in the job listing. Later found out that they have data breaches all the time and that I was probably rejected as I pointed out that that’s not a normal thing for an organisation to have. Questions were mostly rehashes of the same three questions about data management and personality. One of the interviewers tried pushing me to use my disability, which I had confidentially disclosed on the equality and diversity form, as an example of how I overcame a challenge in the past. Concerning how out of all places that would happen at an NHS mental health clinic.
