This is an excellent opportunity to build on your Nursing or Paramedic experience and to continue to deliver outstanding patient care – without the physical demand of acute work.
We offer competitive rates, equivalent to band 7 and band 8a. Typically, a Clinical Advisor could earn anywhere between £49,400 to £56,140 working full time equivalent of 37.5 hours per week.
You`ll receive:
* Pay: £23.62 per hour (7am-11pm) and £26.86 per hour (11pm-7am), with further pay enhancements of £29.54 per hour when working between Friday 18:00 to Monday 7:00am. Please note that the weekend rate is guaranteed but it is not contractual, it is just an incentive for working unsociable hours
* Any training hours will be paid at £23.62 per hour
* 25 days’ annual leave, increasing with service up to 28 days per year + bank holidays.
* Guaranteed regular breaks
* A strong, stable infrastructure to ensure comprehensive clinical guidance, support and safety, with excellent opportunities for ongoing career progression

What your typical day looks like
* You will be working with patients and providing them with telephone triage using the NHS Pathways systems.
* In 111 we get calls about pretty much anything, hence no two-days will be the same. However, you will receive a lot of support from the software systems as well as your team.
* We offer set shift patterns so you`ll always know when you`ll be working
* You will report into the Clinical Team Leader and Clinical Leads, have regular 1:1 meeting. You will benefit from coaching, mentoring and development plans to support your career aspirations.
You`ll be trained on NHS Pathways systems, a recognisable licence that you`ll receive on completion of training. Our two training options are:
* Full-Time Monday-Friday (9am-5pm) for 4 weeks
* Part-Time Tues, Weds, Thurs (6pm-9.30pm) and Sat-Sun (9am-5pm) for 5 weeks
You must be able to attend every training day. This is followed by a further eight weeks’ support before you can be signed off to work on your own.
The successful candidate will have the following skills and experience:
* Good level of education
* Ability to write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals
* Experience of working with sophisticated IT and telephony supported applications, programming call flows and maintaining agent skill sets.
* Understanding of call centre metrics and resource planning methods
