The interviewer would like to discover more about your day-to-day roles, responsibilities, structure, and pace. If you are coming from another healthcare organisation, it's likely similar to what would be required in the position with the NSH; however, it's important to describe in detail what your activities look like. Read the job description thoroughly, and discuss the areas of responsibility you have experience in and perform daily. Keep a positive tone as you describe what your current role entails each day, and refrain from complaining about certain duties or feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks.

"During my apprenticeship, I helped children with disabilities participate in school, social situations, sports, and personal hobbies. Initially, I would work with the child and their caregiver to establish goals and create custom plans to help them achieve them. I would assist with specific support of learning how to bathe and get dressed, eat without the help of others, adjust and use adaptive equipment in the classroom, and build-eye hand coordination. I really enjoy working with children to help improve their quality of life."

"In my current role, I mainly work with the geriatric population. I typically spend time with patients during the day to assist them with adjusting to living with a new disability, commonly from a stroke or cognitive impairment. I teach them how to use equipment or assistive devices to help with their activities of daily living that have been impacted, like bathing, dressing, or cooking. In my sessions with patients, I also help them learn new ways to approach tasks differently and help make modifications in their home if necessary."
