Night Telephonist

An opportunity has arisen for a Night Telephonist to operate our Trust’s main 24/7 central Switchboard. We are looking for a self-motivated individual to join our small but busy Support Services Team. You should be enthusiastic; self-motivated with a friendly disposition, possess good communication skills and be able to adopt a flexible approach to the varied tasks assigned to you.

To protect the health and safety of our staff/workers, patients, and those attending our sites, we encourage our workforce to get fully vaccinated against COVID

Working weekends and Bank Holidays will be necessary, for which additional payments will be made. Hours are 10pm-6am

No experience of working within the NHS or a mental health environment is required, but experience of working with the general public is essential.

We’re a large NHS Mental Health Trust in South East England. We’re looking for people to help us provide high quality services for the patients, carers and local communities we serve.

We want patients and staff to recommend our organisation as a place where they would be happy for their friends and family to be treated. You can help us do this by bringing your skills, experience and commitment to Sussex Partnership.
