Our client is a not-for-profit housing association dedicated to offering quality homes for independent living. Their vision is simple, it is focused on “Living Longer, Living Better”. They want to help their residents age well, live independently and maintain their quality of life for as long as possible.
It’s an exciting time to join them as they move forward towards achieving their aim of becoming the 'Market Maker' in Independent Living. They embrace a ‘One Team’ ethos and employ people who are pioneering and who strive to be outstanding in their role. In return, they empower them to be the very best that they can be.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Telecare Operator to join their in-house call monitoring centre. They offer customer-led flexible solutions for a variety of services including Telecare, Lone Worker monitoring, Out of Hours call handling and Anti-social behaviour logging.
Within the role, you will deliver an excellent telecare service to their diverse range of customers through effective call handling, following procedures and demonstrating empathy and care to vulnerable adults. You will respond to and prioritise alarms generated by the Telecare Monitoring System and their Loneworker System and liaise with outside agencies as required to effectively resolve alarm calls.

With excellent organisational skills and a positive “can-do” approach, you will be comfortable working to set targets and KPIs and be able to easily work your way around a variety of databases.

They are looking for passionate, enthusiastic and innovative individuals who have a flexible approach to work and are prepared to work unsociable hours, including weekends and bank holidays.
