hi there
Im also going for an interview soon. could you tell me is there a written test as well?
as interview thanks
by: Nut
Hi,
There is no written test, its just a "normal" verbal interview.
They tend to ask questions about child development, child protection, equal opps, how you would handle certain situations, ie home visiting etc.
Also how you can build on the role and what you feel you could bring to the job.
Good luck, if you get through you will love it!!

Thanks Claire,
What sort of questions asked about child protection? and child devlopment?
Sorry just really nervous and need help!!
by: Nut
No problem, they tend to ask how you would deal with a child protection issue if you felt a child was in danger etc, how you would look out for signs....
With child development I got asked what would you expect a 2 year old to be able to do.... things along them lines.
good luck hope it goes well..... its the best job I've ever had!!

Thank you so much, also do they mind if u have no experiance. I been working in a nursery which is alot different to community work! Do they train you etc? ...
by: Nut
Yer if they feel you are the one..then yer you will have differnt training, but it is so differnt from nursery work......its so much more challenging, which is gr8 also you learn so so much more
good luck....

Hi all,
Sam
have you looked on the nhs website? I also live in essex and work as CNN very often jobs will be advertised on the Nhs website, so its worth taking a look... or look at your local PCT (Primary care trust) website, im not sure which area you live, but its easy to find out what pct you come under
I hope this helps, any questions please ask!
Claire
