New to Public Sector Contracting - DWP

[Wobblyheed]

I'm not a techie myself but have been working tech project manager contracts for a few years now, almost all in the fintech space. Regular work has shrunk a lot in the sub-sector that I work in and so I've been looking at Public Sector contracts, almost all inside-IR35 which I'm absolutely fine with. Took me a while to figure out how to get past the screening stage for public sector contractor hiring but I'm there now.

I have my first (and apparently the only interview during the hiring process) interview (the recruiter said 20-30 minutes at most) with a DWP hiring manager later this week. The JD itself itself is very light on details and just a lot of very generic guff that you would expect for tech project/change management in any organisation. The recruiter doesn't have anything more to offer details-wise.

I haven't had an interview in donkey's years and never worked in the public sector. I appreciate it's quite a woolly request but I would be grateful for any very general tips on public sector contractor interviews.

Thanks in advance!

If you know someone that works there it helps.
They don't like ex permies turning up as contractors either
