Relief Dispatcher (West)

NHS Scotland • Full-time • Glasgow, GB • 1d ago

FULL TIME - Shift Working (AFC band 4)

Exciting opportunities have arisen for full time dispatchers within our West (Cardonald) Ambulance Control Centre.

The West ACC covers an extensive operational area including both high population and remote and rural areas. The role of the ACC dispatcher is demanding and the ability to work as part of a dedicated team is essential to provide 24hr Accident and Emergency cover to the public. As a relief worker you will have no fixed working pattern, instead getting shifts 4 weeks in advance helping to ensure that staffing remains at the required level. Candidates will need to be prepared to work 12-hour shifts.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate clear evidence of accuracy and compliance with system protocols and SOPs, demonstrate an ability to work effectively under pressure and with minimal supervision. The successful applicant must be able to dispatch Ambulances to emergency/urgent calls, ensuring optimum use of resources in accordance with Service quality standards and deployment strategies.

There will be a 2-week training period for this role, and you will thereafter work within the Ambulance Control Centre.

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.
