I imagine that they will want to know about your experience and medical qualifications, about which I cannot comment because I am not a medic, but I believe that qualifications are only part of the picture.  I would want to employ someone who is enthusiastic, who would add value to the department by getting alongside others as opposed to being confrontational etc.  Someone who is keen and willing to be managed.  If it is a management position I would also ask about how you would handle specific personnel issues, and how you would motivate your people.  \n\nDoes that help?

Until now assignment descriptions have been loosely based on old Whitley grades; but hundreds of different role descriptions are used in Trusts across the country. This is unfair and contrary to the principle of equal pay for work of equal value that lies at the heart of Agenda for Change. Our new system of classifying assignments provides national consistency.\n\nOur challenge was to design a system that met the needs of all our partner Trusts while at the same time being simple enough for everyone to understand. We have done this by using the national role profiles that have emerged from the implementation of Agenda for Change in Trusts. Although they may not match exactly the job titles in every Trust we are sure they will be familiar to you.\n\nThe assignment types, their codes and a brief description of each are set out in the table below.\n\n\nAssignment Type  Short Code Description \nCare Support Worker CSW Undertakes personal care duties. Reports patient condition to qualified staff. \nCare Support Worker Higher CSWH More senior Care Support Worker often qualified to NVQ level 3 or equivalent.

Sounds like something you need to discuss with your doctor.  Your employer may require something from the doc stating your health does not prevent you from performing the job duties required  of you.

If these are covered then the interview will be a snap

Contact your local Social Care and Health Department, through your local council, the number will probably be in the phone book..... They should have lists of agencies and may be able to offer some help themselves.( they used to be Socail Services...name just recently changed.)

My SCITT interview (6yrs ago) was no different from a regular interview for regular jobs to be honest.\n\nWhy do you want to be a teacher?\nWhat characteristics would you take to any school?\nStrengths/weaknesses?\nWhat motivates you?\nHow do you relax?\nThe favourite question of - where do you see yourself in 5 or 10yrs?\nTeam player?\nShare experience & skills?\nWhat in life do you enjoy?\nWhat would be a good lesson in your eyes?\nThe ability to 'PLAN' & manage your time.\n\nMore importantly for SCITT was that they were looking for 'real' experience that could give you the edge in the classroom - what could you give that a 'I've always been a teacher' might not be able to the classroom.\nMany pupils turn-off because they think that school has nothing to do with the real world - hopefully you'll be able to tell them that it does! (Many of the kids I teach find it wierd that I've had different jobs before being a teacher - from working at KFC to Managing a team of 80 & a budget of £00,000's)\n\nI hadn't had any 'teaching' experience before the interview but did play on my sport experience - team player, enthusiastic, energetic, winner, coach etc ...... even though it was an ICT SCITT.\n\nDress - It's an interview, so dress smartly/professionally! Many schools are now making an issue with not only the pupils uniform but the slothes the teachers wear!\n\nFinally. A lot of teachers that we have interviewed at my school recently and even a trainee teacher I supervised this year have failed to get their message across simly because they were so 'flat'. They showed no emotion, and this doesn't transmit well to kids (or observing folk). Animate yourself (not too much - don;t want you flapping your arms around and smiling like a loon) and look interested in what you are telling people!\n\nJust try and have fun, smile, look confident and don;t be afraid to ask question.\n\nI'm just about to finish my 5th year as a teacher. I'm no longer teaching ICT as my core subject & am now the Head of Business Studies.\n\nThe one thing I remember from my mentor as a trainee was 'don't lose who you are - remember you are nickthesurfer' ...... I've always been known to my friends as nickthesurfer & had an appropriate email address!  Sounds like an odd thing to say but he was right. School can be hard work but I make time to surf, mountain bike & have a lot of fun.That way I go back to school (usually) with enthusiasm, energy and a WANT to teach!\n\nAs a teacher you have two side - the teacher and 'you'!\n\nps. 5 years in & I still like teaching :)

I can only speak about our situation here in Northern ireland but most Trusts have SW trainee programmes where you agree to work for them after qualification (although actually they cant make you stick to it!)\n\nContact the training and development section of your local authority and speak to the most senior person you can get. If you are already half way through your training and doing OK you should be a cheap and attractive option for them\n\nAlternatively send a letter into community care magazine and you should get a lead there. good luck

No problem just go to your nearest health department and they should ask you some questions to see if you're eligible but remember the sooner the better so if you haven't taken it in at least 3 days it basically useless. \nGood luck!!!

Never let them see you sweat.  I've lived and sworn by this rule for the last 15 years (including the interview to work at my job).  Get enough rest 7+ hours but not more than 9 or you'll look very sleepy tomorrow.  Eat breakfast, but not too many carbohydrates (like pancakes, stick to eggs, bacon, toast and milk).  Be yourself, that's who they are going to be working with.  Tell yourself you are qualified for this job.  You are very deserving of this job. And whatever you do, stop thinking about your financial situation. This will only make you feel desperate tomorrow.  Be confident, you will get this job.

contact the occupational health department of your local hospital, if they can't do it as you're an individual they will be able to point you in the right direction!\nPS i hope you've already got the new job - it's a lot of effort (and expense) to go to if you've not been offered the post yet!
