What are the changes to the recruitment process for the role of Donor Carer?

The changes for Donor Carers, agreed with senior team are set out below:

Session tour – This will be a virtual tour rather than face to face.  The video for this is hosted on the careers website and your recruitment contact will send candidates the link with their invite to the interview with instructions that they must watch this prior to their interview. You can visit the session tour web page and view the video prior to the interview.

Candidate Tour Feedback questionnaire – The interview panel will need to go through the questions set out in this at the beginning of the interview to make sure the candidate has watched the video, understands the role and is clear on what is expected.  You will not need to return this to your recruitment contact.  This questionnaire was a way of checking that the candidate can read and follow instructions however if we make it an on-line form, there is no guarantee that they have read and completed it themselves.  We would recommend that you ask specific questions around their experience of reading and following instructions (even if it’s how to use the microwave).

Interviews – The face to face interview is to be replaced with an on-line interview via Zoom (see above for details regarding this).  Interview questions and the interview assessment form will remain unchanged.

Team Information Sheet – We will still need this and would recommend that this is sent to candidates prior to the interview. However, if this is not possible it could be covered at interview and your recruitment contact could send it to your successful candidate.

Identity documents - Your recruitment contact will liaise with the candidate and ask them to send photos or scanned copies of all the necessary identity documents and we will then ask you to verify the originals on your new starters first day.
