Pros

There was opportunity for overtime reguarly probably because staff would reguarly go sick due to stress. The technology worked well in the new HQ.

Cons

During my entire time with South East Coast Ambulance Service I was made to feel absolutely miserable. My Manager (EOCM) spoke about me behind my back to other staff members on a regular basis. We would be dangerously short staffed on a daily basis which put patients lives at risk. There was never enough ambulances on shift and the ones that were on shift were so old and used that they reguarly broke down. If people raised concerns over patient safety in the control room it would all be swept under the rug. The EOCM would reguarly text young staff members outside of work hours and maintain inappropriate relationships with them. The manager of the training team targetted people he didn't like and failed them on assesments to make sure they didn't get promoted. Working there made me consider self harmimg. The managers were nasty and manipulative. The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) reguarly breaks down which further puts patients at risk.

Pros

I couldn't think of any reason why you would want to do this job.

Cons

You need to not care to do this job, I compared it to working in a Zoo or a Circus. Don't expect to get any support, if you manage to work full time be careful travelling too and from work as you will be mentally and physically exhausted. Be prepared for Members of the Public to be abusive, sarcastic and generally rude to you. Trained medical staff will not respect you and rather then supporting and guiding you.

Pros

I went to work for NHS111 and never found out

Cons

Getting the job as 111 Health Advisor was only the start of the interview process. There are so many hurdles and they can - and will - get rid of you at any time, with very little warning. Don't give up a regular job to work as a 111 Health Advisor. You can work so hard to be good enough for them and they can suck you dry and leave you with nothing, not even dignity.
