Summary
The Patient Advice and Support Service Role
Lochaber Citizens Advice Bureau is an independent and innovative advice organisation providing holistic advice and support to local people.
The Patient Advice and Support Service (PASS) was created by the Patient Rights (Scotland) Act which was passed in February 2011 to promote awareness of patient rights and responsibilities and provide advice and support to those wishing to give feedback or comments, or to raise concerns or complaints about NHS care received.
The PASS is provided by PASS Advisers who work from within CABx which exist to provide confidential, free, independent, and impartial advice to those who live and work in the local area. Each CAB provides a service to the people in the local area through its main office as well as through outreach provision in outlying areas.
The PASS Adviser also contributes to the operation of a national telephone advice line.
Committed, results-driven and supportive to the needs of others, the successful applicant will be able to work both on their own initiative as well as part of a team and must be willing to follow and develop agreed procedures.
This is a unique opportunity to give citizens access to free, impartial and confidential advice helping them to make informed decisions, whenever they need it and however, they choose to access it.
