• Unlimited mental health consultations.
• Unlimited physiotherapy consultations.
• Access to legal advice on domestic issues e.g. motoring offences, wills and probate, and personal injury.
• Financial guidance re retirement planning, tax savings and state benefits.
• Long Service Recognition Scheme – recognising colleagues for their continued service after 5 years and at 5-year intervals with an increase in annual leave.
• Values-based Internal Recognition Scheme with financial reward, which will lead to an annual recognition event.
• Refer a Friend recruitment incentive scheme with financial rewards.
• The EMED foundation, to provide support to colleagues and our local communities.
• Paid holiday entitlement.
• Pension Scheme.
• Blue Light Card.
• Uniform provided.
• EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) to support a range of health and wellbeing requirements.
• Flu vaccination (through an internal campaign in Autumn/Winter)

Other duties include:

• On-site presence providing an integrated approach to the Trust where the HALO is known to be a key player in overall patient flow.
• Attend meetings on an ad-hoc basis.
• To maintain positive relationships with hospital wards, outpatient units, discharge lounges and bed managers.
• Meet weekly with planning/control to forecast for following weeks activity identifying peaks and troughs in demand and ensuring operational responsiveness.
• To assist operational managers with issues that arise throughout the day.
• Dealing with patient’s enquiries and questions as and when they arise.
• Familiarisation with EMED policies, processes, and standard operating procedures.

To be considered as a PTLO, you will need to be:
