I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cardiff and Vale UHB (Cardiff, Wales) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was a panel interview with 3 assessors, who each asked 2-3 questions each. It was conducted at Llandough hospital. I can only remember some of the questions which I have stated below.
I interviewed at Cardiff and Vale UHB (Llandough, Wales)
Interview
Asked a range of questions about what I thought the job was, how I would tackle certain situations such as a friend/relative asking for results. How I'd manage stressful or rude colleague situations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I would respond to a friend or family member asking for results
Cold panel, old fashioned formulaic style, no smiles or any effort to put interviewee at ease whatsoever. Not personable or interested in you as an individual. My would-be-boss even yawned in my face while answering a question during my interview. Used unnecessary trick questions to trip you up on a technicality. Luckily I fully expected this from identical interviews from the same health board so was prepared for the worst.

Question 1
What values would you bring to the job that match the healthboard's values?
