Swansea Council interview questions

2:1 interview by two supervisors. Asked questions relating to health and safety, customer care and dealing with angry customers. Fairly informal and relaxed, not looking for loads of detail in responses.

The application process is fairly structured but can feel repetitive at times. It begins with submitting a CV alongside a lengthy online application form, which unfortunately requires re entering much of the information already detailed on your CV. This can be a bit time-consuming and feels unnecessarily duplicative. If your application is shortlisted, the next stage is typically a telephone interview, which focuses on your experience, trade skills, and understanding of health & safety protocols. If successful at this stage, you'll be invited for an in person interview, which may include both competency based questions and a discussion about your practical plastering experience. Depending on the role, they may also ask for a trade test or examples of past work. The overall process aims to assess both your technical skills and how well you fit into the council’s values driven, public facing team.
