Are you interested in specializing in a particular area? If so, in what area are you interested in?
As a Band 6 occupational therapist, you have the training and experience to specialize in areas such as elderly care or paediatrics. The interviewers want to see if you're going to specialize in a particular area and why you chose that speciality. Once they hear your response, they can better understand what inspires and motivates you in your field and how they can best support you if offered the position with the NHS.
"Yes, I am interested in specializing in paediatrics. I love children and have found that the children I have worked with are so open to following my treatment plan and getting better. I am not saying that adults do not do the same; there is just an innocence and willingness in children that I adore. I am also the father of three children and feel that I have a great understanding of the pediatric population."
