NHS 111 Health Advisor Bristol, England
Job description
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.
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.
We know how important having a work/life balance is and we aim to accommodate everyone`s needs.
