Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
A quick internet search showed many NHS Band 6 nurse job openings in various populations. The jobs found on the UK Indeed website include community psychiatric nurse, integrated sexual health nurse, pediatric clinical lead, registered general nurse, and intensive therapy nurse, to name a few.
The interviewers want to understand your experience working with their target population to determine if you are familiar with this particular group or if you may need additional on-the-job training. Describe your experience working with the population you are interviewing for. If you do not have experience working with this specific population, explain how your experience as a nurse will allow you to adapt quickly to working with this particular group.

"I have three years of experience working with the pediatric population. I started as a newly registered nurse in a private pediatric practice, then transferred to a children's hospital where I worked with pediatric oncology patients. At this point in my career, I am confident and comfortable with my nursing skills and rapport with pediatric patients and their families. I am excited for the opportunity to interview for this position and know I would bring an added benefit to the NHS as a Band 6 pediatric clinical lead nurse."

I have years of experience in taking care of the adult population in this country and abroad. Also, I have been working as a Band 6 Sister, for more than 2 years, in the acute admission unit. I have been chosen as a charge nurse, as I have good nursing skills and interpersonal skills, which are reflected in all the care I am providing. So, I am confident to take care of the adult population, who comes to your trust.
