Like other Civil Service interviews. A few technical and a few behavioural questions. Panel were very friendly and asked follow up questions to help get the best out of your answer.
This is a public sector interview so highly structured and competency based. Expect to have to prepare a presentation ahead of the interview. On the day you will have time to present, take questions on the presentation and then answer 4 competency based questions using the STAR approach. I was interviewed by 3 people, it was quite intense and they gave nothing away but tried to make me feel at ease which is sometimes harder on Teams.
