Job Introduction
The Role
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 in Ipswich or surrounding areas? Do you have at least six month's post Pathways’ training experience and a passion for the role? Are you available for 12 to 37.5 hours per week? If so, we would love to hear from you.
You need to currently, or recently (within the last 6 weeks) have worked as a Tier Two Pathways/Health Advisor (Call Handler), living in England or Wales, with a suitable internet connection (minimum requirement - 20+ Mbps download / 4+ Mbps upload) and a quiet, private space to work from.
Although the role is based at home, you will need to travel to Ipswich if circumstances change and homeworking is no longer viable. You will be required to attend one of site for training on your first day and/or further face to face training, support, or guidance if required.
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. As this is a hybrid role, colleagues will be responsible for their own travel expenses when attending their assigned office.
This is an exciting time to join IC24. The pandemic has fast-tracked a huge amount of innovation which is changing the organisation. We have a number of recent contract wins and are delivering new models of working. We are on a journey to make IC24 a great place to work, which is reflected in our recent employee engagement survey results.
