About The Role

NHS 111 Health Advisor - Bristol | Part-Time Weekend Hours Available | Enhanced Rates. 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.

This is your chance to train to be a Health Advisor in our brand NEW and modern 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.

We offer enhanced pay rates for weekends, we are offering part-time weekend roles from hours per week to cover our core shifts and assist patients when they most need us. Other currently available hours are weekdays from 15:00 to 20:00.

Please note: If you require hours of more than 24 hours per week , including full-time roles (37.5 hours), we may be able to accommodate you if you are happy to work more weekend hours (this may mean working every weekend and taking days off during the week).

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 6 weeks; or part-time Tues, Weds, Thurs (6pm-10pm) and Sat-Sun (9am-5pm) for 8 weeks. You must attend every training day. Followed by a further eight weeks' support before you are signed off to work on your own.

Available upcoming training dates:

7th May - Full Time

10th June - Full Time

15th June - Part Time

8th July - Full Time

27th July - Part Time

Once you've completed your training, you can join the team part-time on your pre-discussed shift pattern. 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.
