Assessment and Interviews There will be two assessments as part of stage one of the interview process which will last approximately 30 minutes, and will involve the use of a PC. One of the assessments will test your ability to identify different colours. You will then also be interviewed by a panel and your interview will last approximately 40 minutes. Fitness Standard Assessment A fitness standard test applies to these posts. If, after your interview, you are selected for appointment we will ask you to attend the assessment test as part of our pre-employment checks. This assessment has two elements (outlined below). The purpose of these are to safely establish that you can carry out the work that this role involves. Walking Assessment The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that you can respond to any activation of emergency alarms within the 5 minute grace period agreed with the Emergency Services. A Specialist Occupational Therapist has analysed a specially chosen route to determine an average time in which it can be walked, allowing for you to walk at a steady pace without pausing between the start and finish and without undue breathlessness at completion of the route. You will be timed using a stopwatch and the assessor will take a note of the time it takes for you to complete the assessment. Whole Body Range of Movement Assessment This simulates jobs where workers are required to stand, stoop, kneel or crouch while reaching with both arms, the kind of skills that are used when working at Public Access and having to perform search duties on visitors. This assessment should take approximately 40 minutes and is likely to require kneeling/crouching for periods of the assessment. Please note that if you want to stop briefly during the assessment, this is allowed and will not count towards your overall time to complete the assessment. If you consider that you have a disability we will consider any reasonable adjustments when we reach this stage of the process.
