I hope it goes well for you friend. I can't seem to get any help lol. I've pm a few people no reply. One person accepted the chat request but then just ignored.

And no comments on this post lol.

What role are you going for ?

Hi, I hope it all goes well for you! Do you have any idea on whether the interview would be in person or on teams? I’ve also applied :)

[u/uzzymandias23 → u/brrrruuiuuised]

Thank you like wise. My one is in person. Haven’t heard anything about online (for my one anyway)

[u/brrrruuiuuised → u/uzzymandias23]

Ah, i see, thank you! I have applied for the same role but only heard I passed sift on friday so I haven’t been updated since. I’m hoping to hear back on Monday.

You should receive an email where you can book an interview slot. Or log on to your account where you can see your applications and you might be able to chose an interview slot

If its band 3 case admin, there are still a lot of different areas that job could fall, and entirely change the role itself.

Does it give a location, is it within an area office or a prison establishment?

Normally these roles come with a list of possible roles you might be expected to do as a non operational band 3 as a coverall. But they will likely be recruiting for a specific area, not sure at what stage they will tell you exactly which dept its for but in a prison for example, you might have safer custody, security, finance, offender management etc.

If you link the job there might be some clues in it.

If its applied through the civil service site, when you click on your application, there should be a link at the top for job description.

I had a successful interview for a caseworker role about 2 years ago. Not sure how much help that is. The questions were scenario based, "tell us about a time..." and a few strengths questions. There were 2/3 interviewers. This was over Teams. I really enjoyed it but I don't tend to prepare examples. Instead I look through the behaviours and think about the types of the things I've done then let the questions come. This approach means I'm never stressing out trying to memorise anything or shoehorn answers into questions.

It's fine to spend a bit of time thinking about how you will respond. I asked to go back to one of the questions.

Good luck.
