If you are currently employed elsewhere and actively seeking a new job, the interviewers are curious why. They want to see if you are unhappy with your job, employer, or other circumstances. Perhaps your commute is too long and interferes with your personal life, or there is no room for advancement within the organization. The interviewers want to know your reason to determine if you will be a good fit for the NHS and the company culture. When providing your answer, be sure you do not speak poorly of your employer, colleagues, customers, and upper management, as that will make you look disrespectful.

"I am looking for new employment because I just moved to the area to be closer to my aging parents, and my current job would be a two-hour commute each day. If I had a two-hour commute, that would defeat the purpose of being closer to my parents. I have worked at my current job for six years and love my supervisor and colleagues, but it is time to look for employment closer to my family. My father is in poor health, and I want a job where I am closer to my parents in case something happens, and he is taken to hospital. I am excited for this opportunity to finish off my career with the NHS."
