The interviewer is trying to learn more about why you've decided to pursue new opportunities or leave your current company. Discuss with the interviewer your reason for leaving, then explain what makes the role with the NHS appealing to you. Maintain a positive and professional tone; avoid complaining about your current or previous company, manager, or team, as hiring managers usually see this as a red flag. Now is a great time to highlight what you know about their organisation that makes them a preferred employer for you.

"As a recent graduate, this would be my first professional nursing position. Through the various healthcare settings I worked in during clinicals, I found that hospitals or clinics are my preference. I have done a lot of research on employers in this area, and I was impressed with your organisation's awards and recognition, both locally and nationally. I'm excited to learn more and be considered for the opportunity to be considered."

"I enjoy working for the physician's office l I'm at now and love the patients I work with; however, the commute is getting to be too much. I recently moved into a new home, and I'm commuting an hour each way five days a week. I'm looking for a similar role within 30 minutes or so from home, and the NHS is a globally recognized employer and premier employer in my area, so I'm excited to learn more."
