If you become an NHS team leader, how will you respond if you are asked to perform a task that you were not trained to do or have little experience doing?

"If I join the NHS as a team leader, I know that there will be an admin task or two that I'm unsure how to complete because of new technology I would be working with or a different process than I'm used to. In these cases, I would approach the trainer or a peer I knew to be strong in this area and ask if I could shadow them or if they could take a minute to talk me through the step. I'm a quick learner, so once I'm shown something once, I usually catch on quickly and won't need additional support."

In your answer, demonstrate a positive attitude and a willingness to learn as a new NHS team leader. You'll want to project that you can acknowledge something you don't know and speak up when you need help or are uncertain about something. Explaining your ability to problem-solve is also vital for this role. It's also beneficial to reiterate that you would never attempt something you weren't trained to do that could jeopardize the safety of a patient or the NHS.
