When reviewing several of the NHS Band 6 occupational therapist job openings on the UK Indeed website, many job duties and responsibilities are similar. The job duties include caring for patients while offering personalized treatment modalities, collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team (MDT), working with patients, carers/relatives, and other members of the community, and training and supervising junior OT staff and students. The specific job you are interviewing for may also have additional responsibilities. Review the job description before your interview and choose why this position interests you the most. The interviewers want to see what inspires and motivates you the most in your profession and where your strengths lie.
"After reading the job description, everything about the position interests me. The job duties are exactly why I chose a career in occupational therapy, as I can utilize my knowledge, experience, and hard and soft skills. If I had to choose, what I like the most about this position with the NHS is the opportunity to work with patients and their carers to develop specialized treatment plans to ensure the patient has a better quality of life. Many patients I work with suffer from depression because their quality of life is not what it once was after their illness or injury. What I enjoy the most about my profession is that I can work with my team to improve patients' lives and help them overcome their depression."
