NHS Pathways Trained Health Advisors/111 Call Handlers - Remote/Homeworking

The Role

Others talk about being brave, at IC24, we're made that way.

From providing high quality integrated urgent care for over six million people, to thinking of innovative solutions for our patients - every role at IC24 is made to be brave.

Are you an experienced and currently trained Tier Two NHS 111 Health Advisor who is looking for greater flexibility and a better work life balance? Do you have at least one year’s post Pathways training experience and a passion for the role? If so, we would love to hear from you.

As a homeworking Health Advisor, we can offer you an excellent support network as well as career development opportunities, a generous NHS pension and a competitive pay framework to progress through, as well as everything you need to get you working from home.

We would be interested in hearing from both current Health Advisors and those who have previously worked as a Tier Two Health Advisor in the past year and have had a break in service.

Who are we?

We are Integrated Care 24 (IC24), the leading not-for-profit Social Enterprise providing innovative and patient-focused primary care services. IC24 is committed to improving access to health and social care for our patients and reducing the demand on secondary care services. IC24 provides services to over 6 million patients, including GP led out-of-hours services, NHS 111, primary care and secondary care support services.

Location: Remote/Homeworking with occasional travel to one of our contact centres in either Ashford, Ipswich or Norwich as and when required.

Overnight and weekend only rotas are also available.

Please note that all colleagues will be required to work some hours on a Saturday and Sunday during an 8-week rota and this could be up to 4 weekends out of 8. Some flexibility on times required.

Additional hours may also be available in times of peak demand.
