I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (London, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
Basic information required. No need for CV as you can apply online through their template. Interview is easy for entry level vacancies but if you wish to apply for a higher position it is who you know NOT what you know! No flexibility - they don't interview you through Skype or other means. Be there strictly on time to be considered. You will only know the full benefits package once you are offered the job which makes it difficult to make decisions whether it's worth the move of sticking to your old job. They don't give you much time to consider the offer - they want you to resign asap from your present post so they can start using you. Lack of shadowing - they expect you to be a pro as soon as you start your job.

Clear and well-organised process with supportive members of the interview panel. Consisted of the manager to begin with and then a discussion with the matron. Very friendly and relaxed environment.

This appears to be fairly average and unremarkable, falling somewhere in the middle of the spectrum without any particularly distinctive features or characteristics that would warrant extensive commentary or detailed analysis. It's neither exceptionally good nor notably poor, simply occupying a neutral middle ground that doesn't inspire strong reactions either way.
