QUESTION 22 OF 30

How do you handle situations that could cause you to be tardy or absent from your shift?

The NHS is looking for reliable employees with good attendance habits. The interviewer is trying to discover more about the value you place on timeliness and accountability in the workplace. Give an example that will demonstrate your commitment to your shifts and how you would communicate with your manager in the event you were going to be late to work.

"I am an extremely reliable employee and have not been late to work in the year and a half I've been at my current company. I understand the negative impact that being late or absent can have on the team and on patients who need care in the community. If I were going to be late for some reason or if I was ill and could not make my shift, I would notify my manager immediately."
