SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Over the years I have gained considerable experience in a multitude of different areas and situations that have enabled me to consistently maintain competence in my role. Health, safety and security are at the top of my priorities whilst carrying out my duties and this focus allows me to provide outstanding care for our patients. In everything I do I consistently demonstrate respect and compassion and I always focus on delivering a first-class service for the NHS. My technical skills and knowledge, I believe, are second to none; I have a definitive career progression plan and I always ensure I dedicate time to my own professional development. Finally, I am a strong communicator who understands that, for communication to be effective, it needs to be a two-way process. If I am successful, I will always support other NHS workers, teams and departments to achieve their goal and I will ensure the work I do is always in line with the important NHS values.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for the NHS?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work for the NHS because, in my opinion, it is simply the best healthcare organization in the world. I say this because the passion everyone puts in to delivering outstanding patient care is incredible. Everyone I have seen in the NHS works tirelessly to provide a service that meets the expectations of patients and there is a real commitment to continuous improvement and development. Working for this organization would be a great privilege and I would take pride in collaborating with all the other healthcare professionals to meet the objectives of this NHS Trust.”

NHS BAND 6 JOB INTERVIEW TIPS! HOW TO PREPARE FOR A BAND SIX INTERVIEW!
The following five tips will help you to prepare for any Band 6 job interview! Read them carefully before implementing them into your pre-interview preparation plan.
BAND 6 NHS INTERVIEW TIP #1
During your interview, you will be assessed against a number or important competencies. The competencies include service improvement, equality and diversity, quality of care, compassion, technical and role specific skills, communication, personal and people development and health, safety and security. Prior to attending your Band 6 interview, consider all of these areas carefully and think of situations where you have demonstrated them in previous healthcare roles.
BAND 6 NHS INTERVIEW TIP #2
Ongoing change and a commitment to improvement and development are essential aspects of working within all NHS Band 6 roles. Try to think of a previous situation you have been in where you supported change or made suggestions to help drive it forward.
BAND 6 NHS INTERVIEW TIP #3
Be prepared for probing questions following each answer you give during your Band 6 interview. Probing questions are designed to assess further your ability to meet the requirements of the role and they can include:
- Upon reflection, did you think you handled the situation correctly?
- If the same situation came up again, would you dop things differently?
- What relevance did the situation have to this post?
- Is there anything else you think we should know that supports your application for this position?
BAND 6 NHS INTERVIEW TIP #4
When you are talking about dealing with patients in previous situations, the following keywords and phrases will be useful for helping you to score highly:
“I used a sensitive approach when dealing with the patient.”
“I demonstrated kindles, empathy and consideration.”
“I utilised a patient-centred approach when conducting my assessment.”
