21 Band 7 (NHS) Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of BAND 7 (NHS) INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to work in the NHS within this Band 7 position?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I want to work in the NHS within this Band 7 position because the level of responsibility that comes with the role is something I will not only feel comfortable with, but I will also be able to carry out my duties to an exceptional standard. The NHS is an outstanding organization that contains some pretty amazing people. To get the most out of those people, it requires managers and leaders who are both inspiring and motivating. Over the years, I have been working extremely hard to not only deliver the values and the mission of the NHS consistently, but I have also been working on my own self-development to ensure I can match the expectations of this Band 7 role.”
Q2. Describe a time when you demonstrated a commitment to the Trust’s values or behaviours?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I was attending an inter-departmental meeting to discuss NHS Trust policy and the strategic vision moving forward. During the meeting discussions, I felt we were starting to veer away from the core Trust values, primarily because everyone had different priorities and agendas. I stopped the meeting and reminded everyone that, although we all come from different departments, we all should be working towards one mission, and that in order to achieve that, we needed to focus discussions on the Trust’s core mission of “We are here for you.” Following my contribution everyone agreed it was important to get discussions and plans back in line with what were all meant to be focusing on – the core NHS Trust values.”

4 TIPS FOR PASSING YOUR BAND 7 NHS INTERVIEW
TIP #1 – The BAND 7 NHS Interview is undoubtedly one of the toughest to pass – this senior-level interview will be based on a series of competencies, and on that basis, we advise that you read the assessable competencies for your particular role prior to attending the interview.
TIP #2 – During our research, we identified the following competencies as being the most important for all Band 7 NHS interviews: communication skills; leadership; developing self and others (personal and people development); health, safety, and security; equality and diversity; decision making and problem-solving; quality care and teamwork. Prior to attending the Band 7 NHS interview, we recommend you think of specific examples you have been in where you have demonstrated each and every one of these important competencies.
TIP #3 – When responding to the competency-based interview questions, make good use of the STAR interview technique for structuring your answers. Those candidates who use the STAR method will demonstrate to the panel they have the necessary skills, qualities, experience and evidence to perform the role to the required standards.
TIP #4 – In addition to the standard behavioural/competency-based interview questions, we also recommend you prepare for the standard motivational-type interview questions, such as why you want to work for the NHS, what you can bring to the role, where you see yourself in five or ten years’ time, and also what you strengths and weaknesses are.
