The interviewer would like to learn more about your day-to-day roles, responsibilities, structure, and pace. If you are coming from another healthcare organisation, it's likely similar to what would be required in the position with the NSH; however, it's crucial to describe in detail what your activities look like. Consider whether you spend time on the phone, maintaining medical records, scheduling appointments, or chasing up reports. Read the job description thoroughly, and discuss the areas of responsibility you have experience in and perform daily. Keep a positive tone as you describe what your current role entails each day, and refrain from complaining about particular duties or feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks.

"As a ward clerk on the respiratory ward, I provide comprehensive administrative and clerical support to the unit. I work very autonomously. I am typically given direction from my leader early in my shift, and I'm expected to carry those duties out throughout the day with little supervision. I spend a lot of time on the phone fielding calls from patients' families and friends and providing updates to the appropriate parties. My duties also include booking appointments and discharge transport, updating SEMA helix, and assisting with clerical tasks for the nursing and medical team."
