I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sussex Police (Lewes, England) in June 2024
Interview
Go in for a test to see how you multitask under pressure, then a standard face to face interview - they help by giving you approx 10 mins to look at the questions they are going to ask you before coming back into the room for the interview - the process is friendly, but clear on the job’s difficulties and shift patterns.

Question 1
Why do you want to do this job? / Customer service experience / working under pressure
Before the interview you need to prep for a 15 minute teaching session (which was very vague and they didn't give you clear instructions for their expectations) and scored questions on the core values. They give you the questions on the day and you had 15 minutes to prepare your answers.
