Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NHS in Aug 2012

Interview

i was made to feel at ease by the four interviewers, the interview was a fairly relaxed yet formal process. I can't remember specific questions but relating my experience to scenarios was a big part of the interview I was called the same day by my new manager offering me the job, which saved all the waiting and wondering.
