Hello everyone,
I’m attending a People Advisor interview next week for a Band 5 role within an NHS Trust in England, and I’d really appreciate any interview tips or advice from fellow CIPD members who have experience with similar roles.
The role covers areas including employee relations, disciplinary and grievance matters, absence management, advising and coaching managers, employment legislation, trade union relationships and People projects.
I have substantial previous HR experience, including operational HR and employee relations, as well as current NHS experience, but this will be my first NHS People Advisor interview.
For anyone who has interviewed for a similar NHS People Advisor/HR Advisor role:
• What types of questions or scenarios were you asked?
• Were there any technical employment-law or NHS-specific questions?
• How much emphasis was placed on competency/values-based questions?
• Is there anything you wish you had prepared more thoroughly?
Any tips, experiences or resources would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you in advance!
