NHS housekeeper interview

[samjane27]

Hi I have an interview on Friday for a nhs ward housekeeper could anyone please give me any clues as to what I'll be asked in the interview.
It's over 20 years since my last job interview and I'm so nervous as I've never worked in the NHS before so don't have a clue what to expect.
Any advice would be very much appreciated thanks

Patient confidentiality is important in every role. Ward housekeeper works to keep the environment up to scratch, support the nursing team, communicate with a range of people including very unwell people and frightened and/or angry relations.

Thanks I will make notes of your advice thanks for replying

Also make sure you've read up about the hospital. I am an NHS manager and I always ask what people know about the hospital or department.

It might be useful to think about infection control as you will likely encounter infections such as MRSA and C Diff etc. Good luck!

Thanks again for your help in really would love this job so I'm trying to prepare as much as possible for my interview

Hi I have a NHS housekeeper interview next week. I’ve been told they ask scenario questions. Like if you see a college doing something wrong what would you do? Do I tell my supervisor or speak to them college ??? Help any advise tips on any questions would be fab thanks

NHS interviews in the trust I work in are questions based on the Keys Skills Framework for that particular job, you need to get a copy of it and learn it thoroughly. Points are given for each correct answer, they are looking for key words in the answers, the person with the highest score gets the job

Hi Thanks for your reply, I understand all that, but I’d like to know the answer to my question. Please I’m really nervous about the interview. Thanks
