Bicester, United Kingdom South Central Ambulance Service Full time

**NHS 111 Call Handler**

Would you be able to calm someone having a mental health crisis, or help a parent whose child has fallen and banged their head. Could you deal with helping somebody with a sore throat or toothache, to your next call being somebody having a stroke or heart attack? The 111 service takes a huge variety of calls, which makes no two days the same.

Are you looking for the challenge of working in a fast paced, dynamic, and adaptable service, with a career that’s not just ‘another job’?

We are looking to recruit reliable, caring, and enthusiastic people to join our motivated, friendly, and hardworking team based in Bicester (Oxfordshire)

To be a part of our team and work in a privileged and trusted role with members of the public, you’ll need a good listening ear, attention to detail and accuracy, with the ability to use your voice to control a situation. You will need to be able to identify when a call is urgent and react accordingly. Your words will lead your caller to a state of calm from afar, whilst you arrange the appropriate help for them. You do not need to have a medical background, just a desire to help. You’ll need to be detailed and efficient, assertive but compassionate.

Looking after yourself and caring for the team around you should also be a priority for you. We all contribute professionally to the wider team that we operate within here at SCAS, as we all have an important role to play in patient care. If this sounds like a challenge you’ll relish, and you have the resilience to achieve this time and time again throughout your working day, we want to hear from you

We offer a full 6-week training program including NHS Pathways (the clinical assessment tool we use) and following training, you will have the necessary skills to assess the needs of the patients to give the best possible care.
