Practice Plus Group
Full Time Southall, England 10.91 - 14.03 GBP HOURLY Today
Job description

Have you 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 Southall you’ll be doing just that.

This is your chance to train to be a Health Advisor in our 111 call centre, handling calls from members of the public. You’ll learn how to use a state-of-the-art triage tool called NHS Pathways to assess patients over the phone and direct them to the most appropriate care. Although these are not emergency calls, you’ll also need to be prepared to deal with emotional, distressing or life-threatening scenarios and to arrange for 999 services if required.

The extensive training equips you with valuable skills and includes assessments.

You can choose from two training options:

Full-time - Monday to Friday (9am-5pm) for four weeks;

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.

Once you’ve completed your training, you can join the team full or part-time on a variety of shift patterns to suit your lifestyle. However, please note that this is a 24/7, 365-days-a-year service and is particularly busy at weekends and weekday evenings – so you should expect to work at these times, plus some bank holidays, which may include Christmas.

Upcoming Training Dates:

5th June - Full Time Course

17th June - Part Time Course

3rd July - Full Time Course

15th July - Part Time Course
