There are six values in the NHS Constitution, and working together for patients is the top value. This value is twofold as it takes into consideration that all work with the organisation is patient-centric and that all goals are accomplished in a team effort. As a team leader with the NHS, you will be expected to foster and promote a team-based atmosphere, and I know that the hiring team wants to ensure that you will bring an innate ability to promote leadership with your future team there.

"I'm so excited about the prospect of being an NSH team leader and positively impacting the lives of so many patients. Promoting a culture of teamwork starts with a cohesive staff that knows each other's strengths and weaknesses. I would be a leader that promotes open and honest dialogue and the freedom to bring forth any new ideas to the team regarding patient care. I would always encourage feedback from the team and promote them working together on their ideas."
