I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NHS (London, England) in Feb 2022
Interview
A panel, kind people, was about twenty to thirty minutes long with six or seven questions. Heard back from them the same week, onboarding was a bit slow but overall an okay experience.
Very long but very important as a HCA you are the eyes and ears of the hospital so need to be assessed throughly to ensure you are the best candidate for the job.
