Interview
The process was quite long and included the following steps: online tests, competency questions, assessment centre and face-to-face interview.

I had to complete situational judgement and behavioural tests before I was shortlisted and invited to attend an assessment day. Here, I had to complete a written exam after which, I then had an interview where I was asked to explain a time I had delivered at pace. These are competency based questions which can be found on the civil service website.
