Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you will be a good fit for this NHS Band 2 roles?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“To work in the NHS, you need to have excellent attention to detail skills, be focused on demonstrating the NHS values in all of your work, and you need high levels of integrity and professionalism. Prior to applying for this NHS Band 2 position, I studied the job description to make sure I have the skills, the qualities, and the experience to perform to a high standard, which I am one hundred percent confident I do have. I am a strong communicator, I am able to work well both on my own and as part of a team, I will always look to improve, and I will work hard to make sure the work I do carry out is focused on a total commitment to quality of care.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for the NHS?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“The NHS has an outstanding reputation and it’s not often in your career you get the opportunity to work within an organization of this stature. Before I applied for the position, I researched both the role, the Trust and also the six NHS values to make sure it was a place I not only wanted to work, but where I could meet the expectations of the role and the general public. I believe the NHS is a place where I will be able to put my skills and experience to good use, whilst working alongside a formidable set of people who are all working towards the same combined goal.”
