Anyone work for an NHS CCG (Care Commissioning Group)?

[Maxine3477]

I'm a current NHS employee and have an interview with the local NHS CCG next week. It's for a safeguarding admin -related role.
Anybody work for a CCG and has an idea of what type of questions they might ask?

Yes, me! I work in NHS Safeguarding :-)

Really familiarise yourself with the CCGs core values. That will be a question in itself, and if it isn't, incorporate the values into your answers to other questions and how you have demonstrated them.

Safeguarding = children and vulnerable adults, you can talk about the ethics around it, consent/capacity and also get an understanding of the legislation which governs this area of work (Mental Capacity Act, the Children Act (1989/2004)

The types of investigations which take place within safeguarding = Section 42s, SCRs, SARs.

The impact of Covid 19 on safeguarding = HUGE. My team and I will be working through the case load and the implications for years to come. Literally.

Best of luck and shout if you need any further help!

Wow, thanks you so much for all these tips. Didn't expect such a detailed reply to my post, that's fantastic and gives me a lot to use in my preparation! I really appreciate your help, thanks again :-)

I also work for a CCG - although not in safeguarding. I would second learning core values, visions and corporate objectives. I was definitely asked these in my interview. It would be worth spending some time making sure you are up to speed with the range of work undertaken ( it will be on the website) as it is wider than many NHS staff realise.
