The Role
Others talk about being brave, at IC24, we're made that way.
From providing high quality integrated urgent care for over six million people, to thinking of innovative solutions for our patients - every role at IC24 is made to be brave.
Are you an experienced and currently trained Tier Two NHS 111 Health Advisor who is looking for greater flexibility and a better work life balance? Do you have at least one year’s post Pathways training experience and a passion for the role? If so, we would love to hear from you.
As a homeworking Health Advisor, we can offer you an excellent support network as well as career development opportunities, a generous NHS pension and a competitive pay framework to progress through, as well as everything you need to get you working from home.
We would be interested in hearing from both current Health Advisors and those who have previously worked as a Tier Two Health Advisor in the past year and have had a break in service.
Who are we?
We are Integrated Care 24 (IC24), the leading not-for-profit Social Enterprise providing innovative and patient-focused primary care services.
