Advice Line Practitioner

Our vision is to help shape a Scotland where people with our conditions can live their lives well. Full lives, with the right support, at the right time, and in the right place. By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as an Advice Line Practitioner you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living. You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart, stroke and long covid conditions to live life to the full again. As well as those who have witnessed or provided CPR for someone who has had an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our services form a nationwide network of local support groups, health care professionals, volunteers and one-to-one support teams helping families adjust to life with living with one of our conditions. The role of the Advice Line Practitioner is to provide confidential, independent information, advice and support to people affected by chest, heart, stroke, long covid illness and OHCA, their families, carers and health professionals. We are seeking an enthusiastic individual who is organised and motivated, with good communication skills. Candidates must have a first level general nursing qualification or equal level healthcare professional registration and have a minimum of 3 years post-registration experience in either a hospital or community setting, working with people affected by at least one of our conditions. CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”. In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check. CHSS is committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or member of staff is unfairly treated on the grounds of offending background.
