Tough at the top
It’s one of the biggest public sector jobs so it’s no surprise that candidates for the post of NHS England chief executive will face a gruelling 10 hours of interviews and a full day of psychometric testing.
HSJ has learned that the initial interview will be with senior representatives from Number 10, the Treasury and the Cabinet Office, including Cabinet secretary Simon Case.
The shortlisted candidates will also, separately, be interviewed by those NHS England and Improvement non-executive board members who are not represented on the final panel. The board will conduct these interviews in groups of three – meaning candidates may face at least two interrogations at this stage.
