What do you like least about your current job?
The interviewers ask this question to determine why you are looking for a new place of employment. When they understand why you are leaving your current position, they can see if the NHS can provide you with what you seek.
Keep your response positive. Even though the interviewers want to hear what you like least about your current job, they do not want to listen to you bad-mouth your colleagues, patients, or management. When you respond, highlight the opportunities you can receive with the NHS. For example, you may not like your current job because there is no opportunity for growth or it is a part-time position. In that case, point out how this role offers opportunities for professional development or a full-time schedule.
"I love my current job and the people I work with, but the commute has become too difficult on my personal life. When I started working at my current job, I was single, and the commute was not an issue. I am now married and have a young child, and the two-hour commute each day interferes with my time with my family. If offered this position, my commute would only be a half-hour round trip, affording me an extra hour and a half per day with my family."
