Read the job description carefully as the questions should be based on that. Practice structuring your answers using the 'S.T.A.R' methodology. Give yourself a mock interview but write the answers down as you'll remember them. Always give real examples from previous employment wherever you can. Have a search online for NHS PPE, handwashing, lifting, dignity etc policies. (Assuming you are applying to NHS).
If you really want the job, think about your appearance as well, no nail polish and tidy hair, look smart etc.
