Health advisor

  • Full-time and part-time
  • Locations across England

When someone calls NHS Direct with a problem, it's you they'll talk to first. As a health advisor, you’ll prioritise callers' clinical symptoms, supported by in-house software. Putting the caller at ease and getting the right information is vital.

Your communication and customer care skills will be excellent, and you'll have a keen eye for detail. You'll be helpful, friendly and computer literate. Customer service or call centre experience is desirable, but not essential as full training is given.
