Sometimes, we’ll ask you to complete a task for your interview. For example, preparing a presentation on a specific topic. We’ll give you instructions about the task when we invite you to interview.
Our interviews are competency based. We will ask you questions to understand more about your experience, and how it relates to the essential criteria in the person specification.
