I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Beat Eating Disorders
Interview
There was a 3 part interview process. The order was different for everyone so there was a rotation but for me it started with a reverse panel interview where a service user and someone who worked there answered some of my questions about the role. Then I had the main interview questions where they ask questions that relate to the person spec. Finally I had the resilience interview which looked at how I would be able to handle to emotional side of the job.

Question 1
Interview: Why do you think you'd be a good fit for the role and why do you want to work for Beat? How would you handle [helpline-related situation]? What does equality, diversity and inclusion mean to you?
Resilience & Wellbeing Interview: What are the three most important things in your life? Can you give an example of a time where you could've handled something differently and what you learned? What does it mean to set boundaries and can you give an example of a time you have?

Interview
It was a highly structured interview conversation. The questions that were asked were certainly thorough and very detailed. And they seemed appropriate and fitting to the person specification and made sense.

Question 1
I can't recall the exact wording however they gave specific examples of a scenario connected to the job role, and asked how it would be handled and why.
