Invited to the service where I would work, interviewed by manager and one of the clients I would support. The clients asked more personal questions to see if I am the right fit for them (e.g. my interests, if I like to cook, etc.)
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Mencap (Selby, England)
Interview
Was put at ease and most questions are specific to the role in hand. Nothing complicated. Just gathering what knowledge you have in relation to the role. Quite methodical and asked for a few examples on how my experience would be beneficial in certain situations.
