I applied online. I interviewed at South Lanarkshire Council (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
Three sets of questions, and then a fourth about child protection. Normally each interviewer asks one each.
Each interviewer focuses on a different section, one on standards, another on care, and another on creativity etc.

I applied online. I interviewed at South Lanarkshire Council (East Kilbride, Scotland) in Nov 2025
Interview
Laid back interview in a small office. standard questions expected two managers asking questions on current experience and how it could be applied to this role. Friendly and welcoming environment
Was a quick 30 minute interview in a little office room with two of the more senior members of staff. They asked the standard type of questions, and I followed the STAR approach that helped me land the role.
