1 month ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are expanding, come and grow with us Do you have excellent listening skills, enjoy solving problems and genuinely want to make a difference in the lives of others? If so, join our army of life-savers as a Health Advisor taking 999 and 111 calls. Being a Health Advisor is challenging but very rewarding as you can directly help those most in need. You will work as part of a close-knit team of people who have a passion for helping those in crisis, where no two days are the same. You dont need any medical knowledge, and full training in managing calls and use of our systems will be provided.

This role could be the first step of a great career in healthcare and can give you the knowledge to go even further. In this role you will:
Ask questions in a way which can help assess a callers needs in a pressurised environment, where time is of the essence.

Manage calls supported by a computerised medical assessment tool, to help give patients the most appropriate care response. This could range from an ambulance in life-threatening emergencies, through to a GP appointment, dentist appointment, or referring the patient to a range of community-based services, such as a walk-in-center.

Please ensure that you have read the shift pattern document attached before applying. As a 24/7/365 service, you will be expected to work Bank Holidays including Christmas. Any Bank Holidays worked will be added to your holiday allowance.

As a Health Advisor for the NHS 111 service you will be the first point of contact with patients, healthcare professionals and other callers. Working within one of our Operations Centre located at HQ - Newcastle you will use NHS pathways to record patients demographics and clinical information to assess their condition to ensure they are directed to the most appropriate healthcare professional or service.

You will provide basic advice and health information to patients calling 111, supporting callers to access the appropriate level of care.

Whilst you will be trained initially to handle 111 calls, over the next 12 months it is expected that you will be given additional skills, via a career progression programme, to enable you to handle 999 Emergency calls. All of our Health Advisors are expected to take both types of calls.

On occasion you may be required to work from one of our alternative sites, to enable the Trust to fulfil its obligations/

We employ 3,500 staff in 63 locations and serve a population of 2,600,000 in Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, and Tees over 3230 square miles.

Many people think the job of the ambulance service is to collect patients and take them to hospital, but we do much more

Paramedic skills have developed hugely in recent years, meaning we carry out more treatment at the scene and en-route to hospital.

We have a dedicated clinical assessment service that allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate care from the beginning of the patient journey.

We have a specialised branch of the Trust called HART which deal with explosions or terrorist attacks.

Ultimately patients are the heart of everything that we do to support our mission of "safe, effective and responsive care for all".

Please ensure you take a look at the job description attached for full details of duties and responsibilities.
