I recently had the opportunity to interview for the position of Degree Apprenticeship Study Coach. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes and was conducted by a panel of four members from the apprenticeship team. Overall, it was a structured and focused interview, primarily centred on competency-based questions. The panel consisted of four individuals who were part of the apprenticeship team. They were all professional, courteous, and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know my skills and experiences. The interview started with a brief introduction of the panel members and an outline of the interview process.

Clear process, informal discussion and questions clearly linked to job. Required an example of a time I had supported a student/colleague previously, which was listened to and explored well. Other questions were good, and we explored the benefits of working in a tripartite model.
