Our urgent and emergency care (UEC) clinician vacancies are now open, and we want to help you be as prepared as you can be if you are thinking about applying for the role.
The UEC clinician position is a dual role clinically assessing both 999 and 111 calls. This will enable us to be more responsive to demand and will reduce remote clinical assessment waiting times for our patients.
We’re looking for applications from paramedics with current Health Care Professions Council registration and nurses with current Nursing and Midwifery Council registration who have completed their newly qualified period with post-registration clinical experience in a face-to-face primary or acute care setting, emergency department or pre-hospital role.
We appreciate the prospect of working through an application process can be quite daunting for any job. We’re hosting some support sessions starting next week which will walk you through this new role and provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions.
So, if you have a passion for helping those who need us the most and you are ready to make your next career move away from a hospital or a community setting – this is the job for you.
The following sessions will be held on Microsoft Teams:
Monday 16 September, 10:00 – 11.30
Thursday 19 September, 14:00 – 15.30
Monday 23 September, 16:00 – 17.30
Thursday 26 September, 18:00 – 19.30

As an urgent and emergency clinician you will use your clinical judgement to provide advice or signpost patients to appropriate care. You will be responsible for the telephone and video assessment of callers with a wide spectrum of clinical conditions ensuring patients access the appropriate level of care for them, including advice to manage their symptoms at home.
You will not only be responsible for the telephone assessment of patients across NHS 111 and 999, but also for the supervision, teaching precepting and mentoring of other staff including students, clinicians and call handlers.
You will have the ability to problem-solve, adapt and respond to changing situations and the skills needed to motivate and support your colleagues.
We hope to see you at one of our sessions.
