I completed mine this morning, it was fairly easy. There were a few video questions but you get unlimited time to prepare if you don't click start record and then 2 minutes to give an answer. There are then some scenarios you have to rank. The scenarios are scheme specific though and I applied for Human Resources so that might effect the difficulty of the scenarios, but on the whole it seemed like they want you to be successful and show off your skills.
Were the questions general about about yourself, or were they scheme specific?
I applied for Health analysis and got invited for stage two today! Completed the stage 1 last friday! Congrats to those who've been invited for stage two. Good luck to those waiting...
Please what was your strength and weakness. I applied for the same, yet to receive feedback
Were the questions general about about yourself, or were they scheme specific?
They were very general, I imagine they're the same for all schemes to be honest. It was more about why the NHS, ways of working and teamwork questions instead of scheme specific questions. I'm aware that's not very specific but obviously don't want to give away the actual questions I was asked!
I didnt realise applications closed yesterday and am kicking myself, does anyone know if there's anyway at all I can apply still?
They posted this on their LinkedIn yesterday
“The deadline for NEW applications is tonight. If you have started your application by midnight tonight, you will be able to continue with your application. If you have not started your application by midnight, you will not be able to apply”

Completed mine too and got feedback on my performance. Only one strength was highlighted: Collaboration. What was your strength?
I've just completed the Stage 2 - Work Based Scenarios just yesterday. It says the response will be by the 15th of December which feels soo far away. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone!

I also applied to Health Analysis and just got through to stage 2! My strengths were Critical Reasoning and Flex, my area for improvement was Resilience
I think they are only inviting those who have strengths in critical reasoning
My strengths were inclusion and resilience, weakness flex. Just got invited to stage 2 on the general management specialism - so c. reasoning not a requirement.

It could be that the desired strengths/weaknesses differ depending on what specialism you’re applying for too I guess. I can definitely see how different specialisms lend themselves well to specific strengths eg analysis/informatics and critical reasoning
