Job Description: NHS 111
Are you a Nurse or Paramedic who is passionate about making a difference to patients? Are you looking for a role with less physical demands and flexible hours? Have you ever considered moving into a telephone triage role?
Practice Plus Group are looking for 111 Clinical Advisors to join our busy 111 Call Centre in Stoke Gifford, Bristol, on a permanent basis.
NHS 111 is a 24/7 service, operating 365 days a year so that patients can get help and advice any time of year. It is primarily a non-emergency service and provides advice to the most appropriate urgent care service that patients require.
Working with NHS 111 is a demanding but highly rewarding career where you’ll realise you’re making a difference to patients who use the service every day. If you’re ambitious by nature then we’ve got ample opportunity for career progression.
About the job

Treatment can range from self-care and advice to referring patients to other services such as OOH appointments or other members of our multi-disciplinary team.
Full and paid training will be offered so that you can use the NHS Pathways system.
