The Role

We are looking for Call Takers to work as part of our dynamic team to help support our 999 service. You will be dealing with potential life and death calls from members of the public.

You will be required to demonstrate excellent communication skills with a broad range of patients, family members and other healthcare professionals. You will need to have a caring and compassionate nature and maintain composure whilst dealing with stressful and emotional situations. Having excellent keyboard skills is vital for this job role as you will need to record accurate information quickly.
