Job description
Job responsibilities
You will manage calls from patients and healthcare professionals with urgent and non-urgent healthcare needs, using the Pathways System appropriately to direct the patient to the service suitable for their needs.
You will use computer systems to capture patient information along with being expected to demonstrate self-directed learning and practice.
There will be a period of competency-based training both initially and over the first 6 months of employment which you must complete in order to perform all the duties of the job to the required standard.
Principal duties and responsibilities:
1.0 Call Handling
Receive requests for assistance, treatment or care to IUC / NHS 111 call centre. The requests may be from members of the public, healthcare practitioners or other professionals.
Interact with Individuals using telecommunications. You will answer the calls in an efficient and courteous manner using organisational standards and protocols. This will involve triaging patient calls using the appropriate Pathways System.
Communicate effectively in a healthcare environment with colleagues as well as callers to the IUC / NHS 111 service. You will need to adjust the way you communicate to fit their knowledge and deal with callers with empathy and understanding. You will accurately record and check or amend details on the call logging computer system.
Direct requests for assistance, care or treatment using protocols or guidelines by signposting patients/callers to the most appropriate care/service using the Directory of Services where appropriate, guided by Pathways. This includes making judgements around what may or may not be significant changes in a patients condition. This may involve recognition and appropriate response to emergency situations.
Support the safeguarding of individuals following local protocols and standards. Relate to others in ways which support rights, inclusion and wellbeing of individuals, supporting individuals to keep themselves safe.
Contribute to the effectiveness of teams. Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, actively contributing to service improvements where appropriate. Assist new members of staff. Assist in general administrative and clerical duties. Provide cover for sickness, bank holidays, and annual leave of other health advisors. Work flexibly across sites as required by the service.
2.0 General Duties
Act within the limits of your competence and authority, i.e. work to Pathways competencies and adhere to local protocols and procedures.
Make sure your actions reduce risks to health and safety by maintaining a tidy office/call centre at all times, cleaning equipment before use and supporting the maintenance of equipment by reporting any faults as per local procedures. Adhere to health and safety policies and report incidents and risks identified through Datix or via line manager.
Comply with legal requirements for maintaining confidentiality by maintaining strict confidentiality of all issues concerned with the service. Adhere to requirements of the Data Protection Act 1984, information governance and Caldicott Principles.
Foster peoples equality, diversity and rights by being proactive against discrimination.
3.0 Managing Self
Make use of supervision. Participate in regular supervision in line with local guidelines in order to continually improve your performance and gain support following difficult calls.
Develop your own knowledge and practice, which includes reflecting on your practice, and taking opportunities to improve your practice and apply learning in the workplace.
Ensure personal fitness for work presenting a positive image of self and the organisation. Maintain professional conduct including appearance at all times.
Developing Others
NB there is scope to add a Pathways coaching function to this role once the health advisor has gained experience in their role and is keen to support development of others. The additional competences would be.
Undertake coaching or mentoring with new health advisors to support them in the IUC / NHS 111 call centre and their use of Pathways. This would require additional training to gain accreditation as an NHS Pathway coach or other Clinical Decision Making System equivalent.
Probationary periods
All staff new to the organisation are required to undertake Pathways training. Continuation in the role is dependent upon successful completion of training.
Equality and diversity
All staff have a role to play in supporting and championing equality and ensuring that our workplace and the services we deliver are free from discrimination. This includes delivering the organisations obligations as they are set out within the Equality Act and Public Sector Equality Duty, which means not only ensuring equal opportunities for staff and service users, but also ensuring that patients have equal access to NHS services and that health inequalities are reduced across all protected characteristics.

Job summary
Come and work on the beautiful Isle of Wight! We can offer a rewarding role in a challenging environment, as well as access to lots of blue and green spaces to help maintain your own wellbeing.
Are you interested in working directly with people in custody, as well as working with the systems around them? This role will involve making a positive difference to the lives of the men in prison.
HMP Isle of Wight was created in 2009 as an amalgamation of HMPs Parkhurst and Albany. The prison now holds just over 1000 men across the two sites. Many men have complex trauma histories and there are varied opportunities within the role to develop your own clinical and research interests in working with this client group. You will provide consultation and formulation to colleagues, as well as providing some direct clinical work appropriate to the banding of the role.
For this post, MPFT will offer:
- A 20% 'welcome to MPFT' bonus; 10% on joining us and 10% after a period of 12 months service.
- An allowance can be offered which will enable the individual to pay for yearly professional registration fees up to £120.00 per year
- A contribution for relocation fees is also available upon application
Main duties of the job
We are looking for HCPC registered applied psychologists (we believe forensic, counselling or clinical psychologists may have the required competencies) who are passionate about social justice and reducing health inequalities. You may have experience of criminal justice services, but we are also keen to receive applications from people with different backgrounds, as this supports diversity within our psychology team. You will have experience of delivering psychological assessments and evidence-based interventions, as well as experience of working indirectly through MDT colleagues.
You will enjoy working independently and have the skills to develop excellent working relationships with service users, colleagues and commissioners. There will be opportunities to develop and deliver training, as well as to lead on development of evidence-based psychological interventions. Additional tasks may include providing reflective practice spaces for teams and offering supervision to more junior psychology colleagues.
The supportive Inclusion psychology team is led by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. The team meet regularly for professional development, reflective space and collaborative projects. Working in prisons can be both challenging and rewarding, and you will have the opportunity to work with and learn from experienced prison psychologists across our sites. We will support you to access regular clinical supervision and appropriate professional development.
About us
Inclusion, created in 2002 is part of the Specialist Services Care Group of Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT). We provide caring and effective services across England, including, West Yorkshire, West Midlands, East Midlands, West Mercia, Thames Valley, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Thurrock, Essex.
We support individuals, families and communities who are affected by addiction, crime, mental health or need treatment for their sexual health.

Our services are robustly governed, evidence-based, inclusive, and designed and provided in conjunction with service users. We are committed to providing the best service we can, and if you share our values, we want you on our team!
We work with patients and our staff teams to achieve the best outcomes we can. We invest heavily in training and development, and the wellbeing of our people, both staff and service users is central to who we are. Here at MPFT, we are proud of the comprehensive wellbeing and lifestyle support offer available, in addition to in-house training and coaching support.

Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 18 day(s) ago
Reference: 2383581
Job summary
We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist to join the Sandwell Stroke Service, based at Rowley Regis Hospital. This is a Band 8a post at 0.4 WTE (15 hours per week), offered on a fixed-term basis for 12 months to provide maternity cover.
Applicants who would like additional hours are welcome to discuss the possibility of combining this post with another fixed-term opportunity within General Medicine. We also encourage applications from recently qualified Clinical Psychologists who may be interested in a supported Band 7 to Band 8a development post.
Main duties of the job
Are you a compassionate and committed psychologist who champions inclusion? This is an opportunity to join our Clinical Health Psychology Service within Sandwell Stroke Services, helping people to cope with and adjust to the impact of stroke while supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
You will play an important role in ensuring that psychological perspectives inform care across the community stroke teams. You will provide specialist clinical input to people referred to the service and work closely with the multidisciplinary teams supporting this patient group. Alongside direct work with patients and their families, you will contribute to staff training, consultation and supervision.
About us
The Clinical Health Psychology Service is a team of psychologists who support people to adapt to physical health conditions and develop practical, creative ways of living well. The service operates across three geographical areas: Dudley, Wolverhampton, and Sandwell and West Birmingham, with a range of contracts in each area.
We provide psychological input to stroke services across all three areas. You will therefore join a wider team of psychologists working across services for people affected by stroke and other neurological conditions, with access to robust supervision and professional support.
Psychological professionals form a large professional group within Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, providing access to wider support, learning and development opportunities beyond the Clinical Health Psychology team.
The post will be based at Rowley Regis Hospital. Depending on service needs, the successful applicant may occasionally be asked to support other parts of the stroke service. Full clinical and operational support will be provided should this be required.
