Job overview

Do you have a driving ambition to provide a crucial service, working alongside our Out of Hours Clinicians delivering excellent patient facing care? If you love driving day and night, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

We are recruiting Driver/Receptionists for our  West Essex Service to assist with a variety of tasks, including transporting GPs around the locality to visit patients. You will also be providing a point of contact for patients upon arrival at our dedicated bases, welcoming them and ensuring their confidentiality is always maintained. For the driving side of the role, you will need both automatic and manual licences as we have a large fleet of vehicles.

HUC provides accessible and high-quality Integrated Care services to nearly 4.5 million patients across a range of counties. When patients are ill, HUC provides the NHS111 and Out of Hours GP service to ensure they get the right care at the right time.

At HUC, you will develop a wide range of skills within a growing urgent and primary care organisation, making a real difference to service development and delivery.

Main duties of the job

The role of the driver is to transport the doctor to home visits quickly and safely and to ensure that the in-car equipment is operational and secure.
