provides the NHS 111 and Out of Hours GP service to over 4.5 million patients across Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, West Essex and the South West of England. HUC is an exciting and supportive place to work and we have a wealth of knowledge across the organisation, ensuring we get the most appropriate outcome for every caller.



We are seeking highly skilled, motivated ACPs to join our Clinical Assessment Service (CAS), supporting patients 24/7 across our network.



Working remotely or from one of our contact centres, you will conduct clinical assessments via telephone and video, using cutting-edge digital platforms.

If you are passionate about providing high-quality care, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are committed to patient-centred practice, we would love to hear from you. Join us in a role where your expertise directly contributes to better outcomes for patients -- all from the convenience of a remote setting.
