You will always receive a warm welcome and an introduction to the day. You will then be given a variety of tasks to complete; these will measure your ability to carry out relevant aspects of the role. Our assessment centres may involve meeting a group of staff and/or learners and for any lecturing posts you will be asked to prepare a micro-teach.
The recruiting manager will be the chair of the formal interview panel and will be supported by two colleagues, one of whom will be from our HR Services team or another independent member of staff.
You will be asked a series of questions based on the person specification and we will use the same scoring method as above to score your answers. It is therefore important that you give as much detail and as many examples as you can. All candidates will be asked the same questions. The panel may wish to query aspects of your application form at the end of the interview. You will then have an opportunity to clarify any points or ask questions about the role or life at Nottingham College. You may take notes into the interview with you and refer to them throughout the process.
The panel will appoint the best candidate based on the scores from your performance during the day.
We try to let candidates know within 72 hours whether they have been successful. If you are not successful you will be offered the opportunity for some feedback from the day.
