(2) Interview Stage

After the application closing date, the WAN interview panel will review all the applications, and prepare a short-list of candidates to be contacted for interviews.

Applicants will receive an interview invitation through ROB (Recruitment and Onboarding) system and will be able to select an interview time slot on a first-come, first-served basis.

All interviewees must complete and bring to their interview on the day:

100 Points of ID – Primary Source of Identification
1 Recent Passport Photo
Other document(s) as advised closer to the interview.

If the interviews are held via video conferencing - interviewees will be provided with a weblink and instructions on the process and any requirements in relation to the format of the interview.

If the interviews are held in person, interviewees should arrive at the interview location at least 15 minutes prior to their interview in order for all the necessary paperwork to be checked/processed – otherwise the candidate's allocated interview time and the interview schedule may be affected.

We may contact referees of interviewees (via email) at any stage of the recruitment process (can include before the interview) - please ensure they are readily available to monitor their emails and to complete referee reports in a timely manner. Please ensure at least one of the referees is your current supervisor(s) or manager(s).

What to expect in the interview?

At the start of the interview, the candidate will be welcomed and introduced to the interview panel members.

The interview panel includes representatives from each home hospital within the three networks, as well as an independent representative.

There will be 3 mini panels with 5 members on each panel. Applicants will attend three short interviews, each lasting 10 minutes, rotating through the panels.

The interview questions may potentially involve:

Open ended question(s); and/or
Behavioural question(s); and/or
Situational question(s); and/or
Question(s) regarding information disclosed in your application, CV or other document(s) uploaded; and/or
Other types of question(s).

The candidate will have the opportunity to ask questions (if any) at the end of the interview.

Preference Matching:

Applicants will be asked to complete an online preference form (using the platform Qualtrics). They will be asked to rank home hospitals in order of preference and that they should only rank hospitals where they are willing to accept a position.

The applicant preference forms are then submitted directly HealthShare and will not be seen by the selection panel.

After the interviews:

At the end of the interview process, and after completing reference checks, the WAN provide a single list of Preferred candidates to HealthShare for preference matching.

The Independent (HealthShare) conducts the preference match and provides the WAN (via their LANs) with the Matched List of applicants matched to positions as a result of the preference match process. These are the applicants that will be offered a position.

(3) Offer Stage

Applicants matched to a position will receive their offers via email through the ROB system. Applicants will not receive verbal offers. Please note that successful applicants will receive only one offer from a home hospital for Radiology Training.

Offers will be sent from 2 September 2026.

Please note that appointments will be made under a five-year Length of Training contract.

Applicants must accept or decline their offer within 48 hours of the offer being made.

(4) Post – offer stage

The relevant DoT(s) at the home hospital (and/or other LAN 3 staff) may contact the new LAN 3 trainees prior to the start of the clinical year – to welcome them to the LAN 3 network and discuss any training matters (eg. preparation for Part 1 exam sitting etc).

In the first week of the term, the new LAN 3 trainees will be required to attend the LAN 3 orientation week program – involving various clinical, training-related lectures/presentations by LAN 3 consultants, senior trainees and other staff.

The new LAN 3 trainee(s) will also be required to attend the corporate hospital training day at their home hospital during the first week.
