CQC interview

586 replies

Hello!
I am a usual Mumsnetter, but changed username.

I had an interview with CQC for a inspector role just over two weeks ago, they said they'd be in touch either way by end of last week or beginning of this week. The portal says my application is "in review" and no change since before interview.

How long shall I give it until I follow up, or shall I even follow it up at all? It's a job I've wanted for a while but I'm unsure of what the realistic timescales are with these sorts of organisations!

Thanks

I chased them initially but no response really. For the written assessment, I’d just recommend reading Cqc reports on their websites as this will probably help!

That sucks! Did u leave your job straight after receiving the offer from them? Thats quite annoying then cause why put up post if theres no vacancy to fill straightaway..

also thank you so much hun! I did that just now i think I dont need to do all 5 domains 🤣 ive been on nights so i was confused reading it

No definitely didn’t leave my job as I’d heard so many being put on the offer ready list. Also I’m about to go on mat leave which complicates it even if they do offer me one now!

Good luck with the assessment!

Hi I’ve just found this post! Also waiting response for my written assessment, submitted in May, trying to stay patient 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

@MyJustBird @JollyKaw @ThatTealHare I heard back today (finally!!!) and have got through to the interview stage ☺️ Wishing the three of you luck and hoping you got some good news too 🤞

Hi all... This is some long thread!
So 1... Don't give up everyone... I applied last year for an inspector post, was successful at interview but put on the offer ready list... Along with a lot of others. I lateral applied for a LA inspector and got it!!!! So now I'm wondering how long the onboarding process is currently... Sort of want to celebrate openly and get ticking the days off!!
Keep going gang!

JollyKaw · 03/07/2026 12:59

Also through for an interview! Just waiting to find out when and then figuring out the best way into London! 😂

Congratulations @Yawninmum and @JollyKaw ! My interview is in Nottingham which is about 1.5 hours drive from me. I’m not the most confident of drivers in areas I don’t know so I’m feeling a little nervous about it but it’s quicker than the train. Now time to prepare for the interview 😬🤞

Guys any tips for interview!!
