      Outpatients Receptionist Interview

      12 Jul 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Peterborough, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Peterborough, England) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      Easy. A nice chat. 2 interviewers on panel. Once you get over the initial nerves and realise that the interviewers were possibly nervous too, it was relative easy. The downside to the nhs is that everything takes so long to process. I found out the same day that I’d got the job but it then took almost 6 weeks to get a contract sorted. Training was a bit boring (shadowing for 2 weeks) but after a few months in the job I felt settled and really enjoy it. The shift pattern is ok with earlies, day shift and lates. You get your rota usually a few weeks in advance.
