Make a Difference When It Matters Most

Every day, thousands of people contact our NHS 999 service in moments of urgent need. Behind every call, skilled clinicians are making critical decisions - ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

We're looking for experienced and compassionate Paramedics and Nurses to join our clinical team within the Integrated Contact Centre (ICC) as 999 - Clinical Advisors. This is a unique opportunity to play a vital role at the heart of urgent and emergency care.

As part of a dynamic multidisciplinary team, you will:

  • Provide clinical oversight to ensure safe and appropriate patient outcomes
  • Use your expertise to make real-time, dynamic clinical assessments
  • Apply evidence-based decision-making supported by advanced clinical software

This role offers a rare chance to use your clinical judgement in a fast-paced environment where your decisions directly impact patient safety and the effective flow of urgent care services across the NHS.

If you're looking for a role where your experience truly makes an impact--this is it.

Please note that courses are scheduled to run monthly from October 2026.

Main duties of the job
  • Work within a team as an autonomous practitioner, providing high-quality clinical telephone triage using decision-support systems
  • Assess incoming symptom-based calls and determine urgency and priority.
  • Provide evidence-based clinical advice and support onward referral within the NHS.
  • Communicate clinical information verbally and via technical links effectively with healthcare partners to ensure seamless care.
  • Contribute to achieving national ambulance standards and local performance targets.
  • Participate in team meetings and work with managers to maintain strong performance.
  • Engage in monthly call audits and ongoing self-reflection.
