As a key member of our 111 team in Dorking 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.

Please note: If you require hours of more than 30 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. ( It will be more likely to place you in suitable shifts if you can work these types of hours). The extensive training equips you with valuable skills and includes assessments.
