At
the moment we are at one of the busy times within our undergraduate
admissions cycle with the process of interviews and selection. I am
always heartened by both the motivation and the high standard of the
applicants we see during this process and it is often a difficult task
to select only 56 from the 120 or so that we interview. We are
constantly seeking ways of ensuring this process is fair and robust and
offers a clear selection process for all involved - so one of the new
changes I have brought to this process is the introduction of
Values Based Recruitment.
Values Based
Recruitment (VBR) works through identifying values and attitudes of the
applicant and how they fit the organisation and/or nature of the business – in
this case occupational therapy.
There are, of course many drivers for introducing VBR but we particularly consider the
The NHS Constitution (2012) and the introduction of the 6Cs of healthcare. All of our applicants are assessed against these values in a variety of ways through the process.
For those wanting to know more about our entry requirements and interview process please take a look on this blog and visit our FAQ sheet here
Looking forward to meeting all of our applicants selected for interview over the next few weeks.
