22 HEALTHCARE ASSISTANT (HCA)
Here’s the FULL LIST of HEALTHCARE ASSISTANT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this healthcare assistant position today. I would describe myself as a diligent, hard-working, standards-driven, and empathetic person who takes pride in their work. I am naturally a caring person, and I first experienced caring for other people when my late grandmother was unwell. I enjoyed the experience and I then realised that I had the ability and desire to care for others based on their needs. I am safety-focused, I always remain calm under pressure, and I can tailor my communication style to the patient I am looking after. If you employ me as a healthcare assistant, I will be available to work the hours and shifts expected, I will be punctual and a good time-keeper, and I will always uphold the healthcare principles and values your organisation expects of its staff.”
Q2. What has attracted you to the healthcare profession?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I am attracted to the care profession for several reasons. The first reason is because no two days are ever the same and I would enjoy the challenge of providing first class care for patients whilst under the supervision or a registered nurse. After speaking to other healthcare professionals, I understand it is a flexible and family-friendly career, and you can gain on-the-job training instead of having to spend years working towards a specific qualification in a classroom. Working in healthcare is incredibly rewarding because you get to have a positive impact on other people’s lives, and you get to work alongside other like-minded professionals who you get to forge long-lasting friendships with. Finally, in healthcare, there is the possibility of career progression if you do a great job and that is appealing to me because I am an ambitious person who wants to succeed.”
Q3. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.
