THANKS Richard 👍
Here’s the FULL LIST of SUPPORT WORKER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become a Support Worker?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I have a strong work ethic, I have plenty of experience in helping people, and I also have the ability to follow rules, regulations and procedures. The experience I have gained in life so far, both personally and professionally, I feel, will ensure that I carry out the role of a Support Worker to the necessary standards. I want to become a Support Worker simply because it is a job I feel the most comfortable in. I really enjoy making a difference to people’s lives, and I also gain a tremendous amount of job satisfaction when I can visibly see the difference my work is making to others. I totally understand the level of responsibility that comes with being a Support Worker, and you can rely on me to be consistent in my work, be available to work the hours needed, and also maintain exemplary standards throughout.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our organization as a Support Worker?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I am always very careful about the organisation I work for as a Support Worker, as you have to have the support needed to carry out the work professionally. When I first saw this position advertised, I carried out a little bit of research to look into your care standards and also the code of conduct you expect your staff to adhere to. I feel if I am successful today at the interview, and I get to become a Support Worker for you, the standards you expect from your staff and the standards I personally work to, will be very much closely aligned. You are clearly a professional company who cares, and you also only employ people who want to provide the best service possible to patients and clients.”
