What can I expect from the interview?

How the Willo video interview works, and how to give yourself the best chance.

Written by Thomas Wolfe

We run interviews remotely through a service called Willo. Once you've uploaded all your required documents, you'll get a link to record a short video interview in your own time. There's no live call to book.

You'll be asked about your work history and your clinical experience, with a focus on how you would handle common situations on shift.

It's recorded rather than face to face, but it's still a real interview — it's how we get to know you. So please treat it like one.

Before you start: dress as you would for an interview in person. Find a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted. Make sure the room is well lit and your face is clearly visible — sit facing a window or a lamp, and try not to have a bright window behind you. Check your camera, microphone and internet connection before you begin. Look at the camera and speak clearly, just as you would to a person.

It needs to be you. Please answer in your own words, in your own voice. Don't read from a script or notes, and don't ask someone else to answer for you. We're not looking for perfect, rehearsed answers — we just want to hear how you think and how you'd handle real situations on shift.

A few tips for using the Willo link: you'll have the chance to retake answers, so look out for the number of retakes allowed on each question. Once you retake a question, you can't go back to a previous version of your answer. Some questions also have a time limit on your answer.
