The interviewers ask this question to determine why you are looking for a new place of employment. When the interviewers understand why you are leaving your current position, they can see if the NHS can provide you with what you seek.
Focus on being positive in your response. Even though the interviewers want to hear what you like least about your current job, they do not want to listen to you bad-mouth your coworkers, clients, or management. When you respond, be sure to highlight the opportunities you can receive with the NHS. For example, you may not like your current job because there is no opportunity for growth or it is a part-time position. In that case, point out that the NHS offers opportunities for professional development or a full-time schedule.

"I love my current job, but the commute has become too tough on my personal life. When I started working at my current job, I was single, and the commute was not an issue. Now, I am married and have three children, and the two-hour commute each day interferes with my time with my family. If hired for this position, my commute would be fifteen minutes, giving me almost two hours a day of extra time with my family."
