All applicants who attend the Situational Judgement Test (SJT) will be invited to interview.

Invitation to virtual interview

You'll be notified through Oriel on Thursday 3 April 2025 if you're invited to interview. You'll then be able to book an available interview slot on Oriel.

Interview slots are booked on a first come, first served basis. However, if you have been approved for additional time (25%) then your interview slot may be pre-allocated.

Booking deadline

The deadline for booking an interview slot is 9am (UK time) on Tuesday 8 April 2025.

If you fail to book a slot by this deadline, you'll have your application withdrawn from the process and will no longer be considered for interview and ultimately appointment to a DCT post.
