20 Medical Assistant Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of MEDICAL ASSISTANT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to be a Healthcare Assistant, what can you bring to the role and what do you understand by the term ‘safeguarding’?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I want to be a Healthcare Assistant because I get immense satisfaction from taking care of people, especially those who are vulnerable. Some of the skills and qualities required to become a competent Healthcare Assistant include an ability to identify the needs of a client, be able to remain calm and act with integrity at all times, make difficult and challenging decisions and also improve the lives of those who are in your care. Those skills are the ones I believe I possess, and I feel I can contribute positively within this role. Having also studied your organisation, I believe your values and care standards are in line with the type of company I would like to work for. In terms of safeguarding, this is a significant part of the Healthcare Assistant role and I understand how important it is within this position. Safeguarding was highlighted as part of the 2014 Care Act and it is in relation to the protection of a client’s health, wellbeing and human rights, whilst also keeping them safe from harm, abuse and neglect. Clients who receive care are, more often than not vulnerable, and protecting them through a robust framework is absolutely imperative.”
Q2. How would you handle an upset or confused client who was in your care?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“First and foremost, as a Healthcare Assistant, you have to understand that when a client needs help with their activities and general daily living, it can be a very difficult transition for them. On that basis, you need to act with empathy, understanding and patience. A calm and reassuring demeanour is absolutely vital in putting a client at ease. You also have to ensure you can work safely, effectively, follow rules and procedures and also conduct the correct risk assessment at all times. I would also liaise with co-workers, other support workers and the client’s friends and family to find out as much information as possible about them, in order to find ways of making the transition more comfortable for them.”
