What does the application and interview process look like?

At Aspect, we will guide you throughout the whole recruitment process from start to finish. The application and interview process will look different depending on what role you apply for, but please see below for a typical idea of what to generally expect and how to prepare. You can view our current live vacancies here  and for each role, our recruitment teams can provide specialised support around the application and interview process.

Initial call

Your recruiter will want to do an initial call to discuss your experience, motivations and the role you are applying for. It’s a good idea to have an up-to-date CV handy with your clinical experience and skills clearly highlighted. If you are happy with the role and meet the requirements, then you will be sent more information on the role and move onto the next stage of the process.

Internal Interview

The internal interview will differ depending on the role you have applied for, but this usually entails some more formal questions relating to your experience, motivations, understanding of the role, and general compliance questions. If both you and your recruiter are happy, your documents will be submitted to the client to be considered for interview.

Client Interview

This differs depending on the role you have applied for, some roles will also require an online clinical test to be completed prior to the interview, but at Aspect our knowledgeable recruiters are here to help ensure you are fully prepared and feeling confident for your interview. We will go through the basics of what to expect and how to get ready, so you can put your best foot forward on the day of your interview.  

Interview results

Once we receive your interview results, if successful we extend the offer out to you and confirm start dates and next steps. We will then confirm your offer in writing and get started on your compliance. Depending on the role you go for, some clients will do the compliance process internally. If you are unsuccessful, we will share the feedback we have received and discuss any other potential opportunities with you, providing further support.

How soon can I start a new role?

This can vary depending on which role you go for, your notice period, and how quickly your compliance is completed. The earliest would usually be 2 weeks prior to the start date, however we recommend that you have an open discussion about this with your recruiter to see what options are available to you.

How much experience do I need to apply for a new role?

Most roles require a minimum of 1-year clinical experience, within a UK healthcare setting. However, if you are more recently qualified, get in touch with our team for a discussion as we may still be able to help you secure a new role with less experience required.
