The interview process takes a long time but each stage is clear. There is enough information beforehand that you feel prepared They also ran a really good half-day training session before the online interviews. The most important thing to prepare yourself is to read the Competencies and Values framework.

2 day assessment centre focused on competency based interviews, role play and In-tray exercises. I discovered during the assessment that BME and/or female candidates were invited to workshops before each assessment day to prepare for what to expect. If you are a white male candidate you aren’t invited to workshops or informed that they are even taking place! I understand the need for diversity in the met but surely this is blatant discrimination?
