Job responsibilities

Job description

By telephone, to provide a fast, accurate and effective 111 service to a patient in likely an emergency setting to identify the best route of care for them dependant on their symptoms.

To take, record and process highly personal information received, with accuracy and concisely using nationally recognised software. Relevant information will need to be identified and logged as data on to a computer. IT skills are important.

Working in this role, you could save a life.

We fully support our health advisors and do require that they pass assessments at regular stages of their training course. The course consists of an intensive training programme right at the start of your journey with us. There is an expectation you complete some Pathways Pre-module learning before your start date which we send out to you two weeks prior to the course. Following this, we will train you on a programme called NHS Pathways, this requires approximately 150 hours of training to be able to use the software in a safe, effective, and efficient manner alongside any other recognised training for development. This is covered in a 2-week course where you need to be available every day, Monday to Friday. There are two exams during this period with a 70% pass rate. Failure to pass both exams will mean you sadly can not continue your employment.

When you have completed the training course, we require approximately 75 hours of shadowing to run straight after the course has finished. The ideal situation is that you are available days, evenings and weekends. This is to mirror experienced call handlers in a live environment, but we can discuss your availability.

To provide a professional and high-quality telephone call taking service for local health care services i.e., District Nurses/GP practices.

To gather essential information in the least possible time while remaining polite and courteous we are trying to route our patients to the best care in the quickest way.

To always follow strict procedures and protocols this is a high-pressured role, and we need to ensure that the patient is safe at all times.

Ensure full patient confidentiality at all times.

Work effectively under pressure in a calm and confident manner whilst remaining sensitive to the callers and patients needs

To undertake any clerical work, administrative, data inputting and any other duties relevant to FCMS (NW) Ltd activities

To be flexible and work in a service that delivers care from 0700-2400, 7 days a week.

There is a lot of opportunity to work daytime, evenings and weekends. 111 calls increase when traditional GP care routes are closed, so Bank holidays are some of our busiest times, we expect that all our advisors work across this.

As the role involves keeping competencies and skills up to date, the minimum hours we would expect are 16 hours per week for the first 6 months in post at least and then it would be reviewed on an individual basis.

What will the role involve?

The role of a 111 Health Advisor is a highly varied one and you can expect an incredibly busy work environment where no two days are the same. Patient care is our utmost priority, and you will remain calm and professional even when dealing with high call volumes and challenging or distressed customers. This is a hugely important role, and you can be supporting a mental health-based call, talking someone through CPR to raising an ambulance. FCMS Health Advisors answer approximately 27,400 call per week.

Flexibility to work a variety of shifts is essential in this role.

Nationally the 111 service is 24/7.

FCMS provide the 111 service between 7am 12 midnight, 365 days a year.

Therefore, you must be able to work shifts across evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays.

We are currently seeking part time staff with a requirement to work a minimum of 16hrs a week for the first 6 months at least.

Our key expectations are:

Self-awareness Living authentically

Adaptability- Being ready to adjust depending on the situation

Openness What you see is what you get

Positivity with a real sense of being able to strive for the impossible

Generosity of spirit- Everyday should be an opportunity to act with kindness

Ability to have fun Taking the role seriously, whilst being yourself
