NHS 111 & 999

In fast-moving, decision-oriented environments, clinicians, call handlers and health advisors ensure patients get the care they need and keep the health system moving, in emergency and non-emergency scenarios alike.

Having worked closely with NHS 111 providers since the inception of the service, and through long-term partnerships with many of the UK’s ambulance trusts, we offer access to a comprehensive network of Pathways-trained clinical advisors and health advisors, as well as experienced triage clinicians.

NHS 111 and 999 providers alike look to temporary and locum staff when seeking to lean on a flexible workforce to cover an around-the-clock service. We understand that their needs are clear: minimum onboarding, maximum productivity, reliable results.

We maintain excellent, individual relationships with each of our candidates – meaning we can place the right person in the right post without fuss or delay.

Patients rely on 111 and 999 professionals for advice and access to effective forwards referrals. And providers rely on their staff to power outcomes and reliably achieve key performance indicators.

In other words, good recruitment is essential to quality on-demand healthcare. Contact us today to access ready-to-deploy, fully qualified, reliable locum call handlers and clinicians right now, and whenever you need them.

For more than 10 years, Connaught Resourcing has been supporting NHS 111 and 999 services with people they can rely on. We know how important these roles are, so we take the time to find the right individuals who care about making a difference, even in the most challenging moments. Get in touch to see how we can support your service.

Candidate Testimonials

111 Recruitment Lead – Derbyshire Health United

Connaught have been fantastic to work alongside and have really understood our business, they have been very successful in placing the right candidates for us at DHU. The credit system is working extremely well for us, it saves myself and the accounts department a lot of time as we don’t have to raise POs or Credit notes.

All application forms have been complete, correct and have met the job specification perfectly, due to this Connaught are our preferred supplier and we now work solely with Connaught for both 111 Clinical Advisors and 111 Health Advisors.
DHU have previously used other agencies alongside Connaught but we had a lot of issues with the compliance, references and application forms hence why we now solely work with Connaught.

Client Testimonials

Deputy Site Lead 111 – London Ambulance Service

Every time we had a position to fill, the candidates Connaught put forward turned out to be the best for the job. I was particularly impressed by Connaught not swamping me with CVs but only forwarding those of people who were likely to be a good fit. Some of the skills we needed to hire were hard to come by as working in an IUC call centre is not like any other call centre. Connaught kept on proactively hunting for suitable candidates and never failed to deliver.

Due to an increased demand in our service, we had a need to fill Health Advisor positions. We contacted a few agencies to assist in recruiting temp positions. Connaught was one of them. The service, the prompt attention, the consistent follow up and the quality of candidates we got from them speaks well of their recruiting and screening process. I would have no hesitation in giving my recommendations to use Connaught.

Clinical Service Manager, North East Ambulance Service

Working with Connaught has been an absolute game-changer for our business and their team’s expertise, dedication, and proactive approach have truly set them apart. From the initial consultation to the ongoing support, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their team’s deep understanding of our industry and their commitment to our success were truly remarkable and without the invaluable support of the team at Connaught, reaching the funded establishment of Senior Clinical Advisors would have been an insurmountable challenge for us. We are immensely grateful for their partnership and would wholeheartedly endorse Connaught to anyone in need of dedicated allies on their path to success.
