My interview was a few yrs ago so things might of changed, also I think every PCT will be slightly different with regards to their expectations of the role. But my interview was pretty chilled out , they asked me the usual type of questions ie equal opps, past experience and alot on communication. To be honest communication is the key to this job as you will always refer to your HV regarding clients and to be honest you always need to protect yourself !!! after all a CNN will be getting paid half of a HVs salary !!! I would also recommend you join a union as they will cover any legal stuff. Most of the clients I work with have English needs but the NHS will provide interpreters and r good at providing groups to meet the needs of these clients. I would say it might be a good idea to study a little bit about the community where u might be working? then u can demonstrate some awearness of the type of families you might work with. I hope thats helped and good luck x
