I applied for the role of Inspection Assistant and after going through the whole application process (initial application, online verbal numerical reasoning test etc.) I've been invited to attend a "multi- level assessment" event.
I have never been to one of these and have no idea what to expect. Has anyone ever been, have any tips, better yet work for the CQC/recently been through the process and give me tips on what to expect?

The final task was a group discussion. Each and every candidate is being watched, and similar to task one all the scenarios are from a booklet. Make sure you jot things down, I wasn't aware that the notepad would be collected in at the end so I had nothing written down, as I just thought they were observing us
Needless to say I didn't get the job, but it was an experience

Hi, what do you mean exactly by competency based questions? what did these involve?
Regarding the in-tray exercise, were you meant to choose the answers from a given number of possible actions/answers? (like in multiple-choice questions)
Also, what were the group discussions about, please? And were you asked to write your name on the notepad?
Thank you!!

Competency based questions based on CQC core values. They recommend that you answer questions using the STAR (situation, task, action, result) format, have a look on google and you’ll find more information.

My interview was a 10 minute presentation on a question were given 5 days in advance, a 90 minute written exercise where you had to read a scenario then write an email to your manager explaining the situation and what actions you had taken and write a couple of letters to people. This was then followed by an hour of interview questions which were competency based. For example having to describe a situation and the actions you took. As previously mentioned the STAR method is recommended by CQC and I found it a very helpful way to structure my answers. Good luck with your interview.

Hello Redrow, I am very grateful for your instant reply. The information provided are quite detailed and useful. However, I have not secured an interview yet, I am only researching the entire process before I submit my application. While these process seem cumbersome and comprises of multifarious facets, may I ask you this one question which has always been a burden? Do you need to be an acting manager to apply for CQC inspecting manager role? In addition to other qualifications I have, I am a newly qualified Nurse with many years experience in care are an AP, CSW and HCA. Currently, I have enrolled on Diploma in health and social care level 5 in leadership and management boost my chances. Please tell me if I fit the standard requirement.
