Part Time 111 Health Advisor - New Shifts Available!

Ever wanted to play your part in an exciting service that really makes a difference to everyone’s lives? As a key member of our 111 team in Bristol you’ll be doing just that.

As the largest independent provider of NHS services, Practice Plus Group is delivering a new model of Integrated Urgent Care that reduces pressures on services and staff. By bringing together NHS 111 call centres, clinical assessment and other urgent care services, we enable patients to access the right care, when they need it. It’s better for everyone.

This is your chance to train to be a Health Advisor in our 111 call centre, handling calls from members of the public. You’ll learn how to use a state-of-the-art triage tool called NHS Pathways to assess patients over the phone and direct them to the most appropriate care. Although these are not emergency calls, you’ll also need to be prepared to deal with emotional, distressing or life-threatening scenarios and to arrange for 999 services if required.

The extensive training equips you with valuable skills and includes assessments. You can choose from two training options: full-time Monday-Friday (9am-5pm) for four weeks; or part-time Tues, Weds, Thurs (6pm-10pm) and Sat-Sun (9am-5pm) for five weeks. You must attend every training day. This is followed by a further eight weeks’ support before you are signed off to work on your own.

Once you’ve completed your training, you can join the team full or part-time on a variety of shift patterns to suit your lifestyle. However, please note that this is a 24/7, 365-days-a-year service and is particularly busy at weekends and weekday evenings – so you should expect to work at these times, plus some bank holidays, which may include Christmas.

What you will get:

• Pay: £10.19 per hour– daytime and during training (07:00-23:00); £12.67 per hour – contractual night rate (23:00-07:00); £13.11 per hour – Red Zone night rate (23:00-07:00) – when working a night shift your pay rate is enhanced to Red Zone rate!

• 25 days’ annual leave, increasing with service up to 28 days per year + bank holidays.

• Great job security, flexibility over hours (whenever we can), and full support for ongoing career progression into coaching, training and management roles.

• Practice Plus Group benefits including company pension scheme, life assurance, cycle to work scheme, retail discounts, and an employee assistance programme for you and your family.

• Integrated Urgent Care team benefits that range from Healthcare Hero Awards and recognition prizes to themed occasions, charity days, a fantastic range of social events + the option of overtime to boost your earnings.
