Job overview

 Are you equipped to evaluate a person in the midst of a stroke or heart attack, and equally prepared to provide support to someone suffering from a sore throat or toothache?  Can you handle the responsibility of calming someone in a mental health crisis or comforting a distressed parent whose child has taken a fall and bumped their head?  The 111 Service fields a diverse range of calls, meaning that no two calls are ever the same.  As an initial point of contact for patients, you have the opportunity to significantly impact their care and overall experience.
