Are you looking for the challenge of working in a fast paced, dynamic, and adaptable service, with a career that's not just 'another job'? Would you be able to calm someone having a mental health crisis? Would you be able to help a parent whose child has fallen and banged their head. Could you deal with helping somebody with a sore throat or toothache? Could you deal with helping somebody having a stroke or heart attack? The 111 service takes a huge variety of calls, which makes no two days the same. You need to be aware of the stresses of the job and what impact they may have on you as an individual. Please consider these points carefully before applying for this role. You do not need to have a medical background, just a desire to help. You'll need to be detailed and efficient, assertive but compassionate. Looking after yourself and caring for the team around you should also be a priority for you. We all contribute professionally to the wider team that we operate within here at SCAS, as we all have an important role to play in patient care. If this sounds like a challenge you'll relish, and you have the resilience to achieve this time and time again throughout your working day, we want to hear from you! We offer a full 6-week training program including NHS Pathways (the clinical assessment tool we use) and following training, you will have the necessary skills to assess the needs of the patients to give the best possible care.
