Urgent and Emergency Care Clinician - Clinical Delivery (UECC)
Nurses and Paramedics, are you ready to make your next career move away from a hospital or community setting? Maybe you are looking for something less physically demanding, but still want a challenge and to learn new skills or to use your existing skills and experience in a new way? The post holder will work within our Integrated Contact Centres (ICC) based across the North West. As a UECC you will be responsible for the remote assessment of patients whilst ensuring the delivery of excellent patient care through the continuous achievement of high clinical standards. Further development will be offered once you have completed your initial training followed by a period of skill consolidation. Once this period of consolidation is complete, the post holder will be required to develop additional skills to meet the needs of the service. These additional skills will include providing clinical advice to both clinical and non-clinical colleagues, supporting staff who are returning to practice or are new and require mentorship as well as other specialist skills such as managing the clinical queue and referring calls onto partner organisations who provide Clinical Assessment Services on behalf of NWAS. It is a requirement of the role that these additional skills are completed in a timely manner to ensure that patients get access to the right care, at the right time, in the right place; every time.

Access to paid CPD time. Access to numerous staff benefits such as salary sacrifice schemes, physiotherapy and other welfare benefits. Opportunities to develop knowledge and skills to support career progression. Training for this role is on a full-time basis and lasts between 6 and 8 weeks.
