I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at NHS (Leeds, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
After applying online, you are invited to complete a number of online tests. They were not too difficult but it was time consuming. The next stage is a video interview with 12 questions. The final stage is an Assessment Centre with other applicants.
The interview is around 1 hour long. You are giving plenty of information beforehand explaining to you how the interview will work and what areas you should focus on. You are told to focus on two aspects of the Healthcare Leadership Model. Preparing answers related to these are essential for the interview.

Describe a situation where you completed a difficult task
It was online tests followed by an interview in Leeds. It was quite a friendly interview. They expect you be reflective of your past experiences and ask about your research into the NHS
