About the role
A nutrition programme assistant supports screening sessions, participant records, referrals, follow-up and community education under trained supervision. The interviewer wants careful handling of measurements and data, clear communication with caregivers, respect for confidentiality and sound judgement about when to escalate a concern.
How to prepare
- Review the purpose of nutrition screening, referral and follow-up without presenting yourself as a clinician.
- Practise checking a paper or digital form for missing, duplicated or unlikely entries.
- Prepare an example of sharing sensitive health information respectfully.
- Think about how local food access, language and household routines can affect nutrition advice.
- Review how you would seek help when a participant's condition or safety concerns you.
Common mistakes
- Giving a diagnosis or treatment advice beyond the assistant role.
- Entering a doubtful measurement without checking the process or asking for guidance.
- Discussing participant details where other community members can hear them.
