- The importance of this role to the communities of North Yorkshire can never be underestimated...
- 999 what’s your emergency?_
- “Help me, I’m so scared, he’s hurt me, he’s got a knife and threatened me. He was screaming in my face, so I’ve slammed the door shut and ran upstairs. I’ve tried to lock the door, but I’m so scared, please, I need help. He’s coming up the stairs now. I know he will get through the door, he’s kicking the door, please make this stop”_
- Stop and think. What’s going through your mind? Did you listen carefully? Did the caller say they slammed the door in his face, or just slammed the door? Is the door locked? Did they say he has a knife or had a knife? You need to know the facts, so you know what action to take next, most importantly whilst you’re listening to what the caller is saying, you are also typing and, in your mind, categorising the call, in order of priority, whilst at the same time calmly reassuring the caller that help is on the way
- Do you have what it takes? Could you be somebody’s lifeline in what could be the worst moments of their life or when they are at their lowest? We ask our teams to assess the priority and severity of incidents, whilst always doing their best to reassure the caller that we'll get them the appropriate support or assistance as quickly as possible. So, what does a typical day look like?
- You will provide the customer-focused, professional, first point of contact our callers expect, to deliver the best possible service to the public.
- You will be responsible for handling emergency and non-emergency calls from members of the public and other agencies.
- You will triage calls in accordance with our framework, assessing each call’s priority and risks.
- You will be responsible for prioritising a response to incidents
- You will work with colleagues across North Yorkshire to manage our response to requests for assistance.
- Our Communication Officer will create records of reported incidents on the appropriate system(s) and to ensure those records are accurate and contain sufficient detail to enable the Controller (Dispatch) to deploy and support operational resources effectively and to enable effective analysis.
- You will be facilitating telephone interpreting for callers who speak little or no English, building confidence across our multi-cultural communities and for those visiting the county.
- You will be contacting the next of kin / family of victims to gain vital intelligence to support officers at a scene.
- You will be working with police systems to record police Information in relation to reported crimes, domestic violence, road traffic collisions, missing from home reports, along with many other occurrences.
- You will carry out Police National Computer enquiries on behalf of officers e.g., vehicle and name checks.
- You will be responsible for dealing with on-line reporting information.
- You will have emotional awareness and help to build trust and confidence with our communities.
- Required Experience
- You do not need previous experience; instead, we're looking for common sense, attention to detail, great IT skills including good typing skills, excellent communication skills and a calm head under pressure. Above all, you'll have the drive, passion and determination to make a difference and deliver an outstanding service to the communities of North Yorkshire.
