I have a sleep disorder and am struggling to find ways to work and earn a living. I'm considering various options given what I'm doing now isn't really working at the moment. Does anyone know where they are so I can figure out if I could get there easily (I'm in the central belt). I've googled it but got conflicting info! Also, how easy is it to get part time there work does anyone know?

With apologies if any of this is out of date...

999 calls are initially answered by BT 999 call centres in Glasow and Dundee. They are then transferred to the relevant emergency service:

Scottish Ambulance Service's Control Centres in Cardonald, South Queensferry and Inverness.

Police Scotland's Service Centres in Bilston Glen, Govan and Motherwell.

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service's Operations Control Rooms in Edinburgh, Johnstone and Dundee.

HM Coastguard's Operations Centres in Aberdeen, Shetland and Stornoway.

101 calls are received directly by Police Scotland Service Centres at the above locations.

111 calls are received directly by NHS 24 at their Contact Centres listed in the link upthread.

I don't know how easy it is to get part time work at any of these centres. The last advert I read for call handlers with the Scottish Ambulance Service said something like various hours available.
