Just know your resume. Have answers for any gaps. Research the STAR method. Browse the company website.

Do you know who you are interviewing with? I like to go through each persons LinkedIn to learn something about them. This gives you something to talk about. Obviously study the firms website and your resume, etc.

Also refer to the job spec (if detailed), this should be your guide on what the employer is looking for and should be able to pull relevant examples from your CV. Research the department, any terminology you may not be familiar with, why you want the role/want to work for the company.
There are behavioural interview questions and answers floating around on google, have a look at those. That should help you get a feel of what to expect.

Good luck

Agree with the research noted in other comments. I would also ask someone that does interviews to do a mock interview with you. Although everyone has a different style, the practice will help you think on your feet and practice answers.
