Following your interview
What happens next?
Once you have been interviewed, you will be invited to ask questions. If you do not have any, that’s fine. However, you can use this time to ask questions about when you should expect to find out the outcome, what the next steps might be, or to ask questions about the role or team. Indeed has some helpful guidance around asking questions in an interview.
After your interview, the person or people who interviewed you will contact you via phone. This will be via the phone number you listed on your application. This is usually within 48 hours of your interview and they will let you know if you were successful or unsuccessful.
If your interview was successful, you will either be:
- offered the position you applied for
- invited to a second interview or assessment
If you are successful and an offer has been made, you will receive an offer letter confirming the following information:
- Job title
- Base
- Care group / department
Pre-employment checks
You will also receive an email requesting for you to book a face-to-face appointment at our Trust Headquarters – Redesmere Building, Chester. At this appointment you will need to bring along original documents to confirm your identity, right to work and qualification checks.
You will receive an email from DocuSign to complete your new starter forms such as payroll details. DBS checks and occupational health checks will also be carried out depending upon the role you have been offered.
We will also ask you for referee information to conduct reference checks. We will require 3-5 years worth of references, either from school / college / university tutors or employers. These should be as recent as possible but don't worry if you've had a gap in employment.
Once the pre-employment checks have been completed, you will then agree a start date directly with your line manager.
