I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NHS 24 in Sept 2024
Interview
Coming from a previous band 6 NHS post, the interview process was much less stressful and pressured than previous interviews. Via teams, both who interviewed me were super friendly and made me feel at ease. Values based questions, as is typical for most NHS Scotland employers. Definitions of each, with examples read prior to the question. Followed by scenarios of callers to the service. Recruitment process straight forward, with a dedicated contact to support with paperwork, documents etc.
