To take, record and process highly personal information received, with accuracy and concisely using nationally recognised software. Relevant information will need to be identified and logged as data on to a computer. IT skills are important. At the extreme, working in this role, you could save a life. How we support our health advisors is to expect that they pass assessments at regular stages of a training course. In this role, you will complete an intensive training programme that we provide at the start of your journey with us. We will train you on a programme called NHS Pathways, that requires approximately 150 hours of training to be able to use the software in a safe, effective, and efficient manner alongside any other recognised training for development. Part of the role can be to provide a professional and high-quality telephone call taking service for local health care services i.e., District Nurses/GP practices.
