Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust is currently looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking call handler to join our busy & friendly Integrated Community Teams.


You will work as part of a team supporting the Referral Centre in handling all nursing and multidisciplinary referrals in locality Referral Centres.


The purpose of the Referral Centre is to act as a hub through which all incoming referrals are received, triaged and responded to in a timely way, using a multi-disciplinary approach.

This MDT comprises Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Community Nursing, Reablement and Admin support. The Referral Centres are a fast paced and stimulating environment to work in with no two days the same.


You will be working in a customer facing environment and the role will include taking patient details in a sympathetic and understanding manner, whilst ensuring that calls are handled effectively, efficiently and in a manner that preserves dignity and confidentiality.


The focus of the work will be to take telephone calls, gather information and input referrals onto the electronic patient records, using SystmOne, as well as providing administrative support such as, scanning documents, taking messages and signposting enquiries from staff members.

Collaboration with partners and community services will be key to this role, and to support using the wider community for signposting and self-management.

We require motivated and flexible people with excellent communication and computer skills, to include Excel, Word and Outlook.

We offer a supportive and friendly working environment with opportunities for training and professional development.

If you would like to work for an organisation that values its staff, aims to deliver the best care, offering compassion to all patients, their carers and families, and you can demonstrate this to us, we would like to hear from you

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services.

We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.


The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust.

For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%).

It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative


Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West.

However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.


The post holder is expected to work as member of the Referral Centre team, supporting the Community Nursing referral team to manage calls and referrals into the Nursing and therapy service across the locality.
