Job Summary

Please note this post is temporary.

Our Emergency Response Centre (ERC) operates 24/7 and ERC agents provide the first point of contact for customers in emergency and urgent situations which require a response from the Council.

ERC Agents work a rolling shift pattern which includes weekends and holidays, agents handle Community Alarm calls, all emergencies out with normal working hours and monitor public space CCTV ensuring incidents are passed to Police without delay.

The post holder must have excellent communication skills and be able to work well as part of a team to ensure routine, urgent and emergency situations are appropriately monitored and responded to.

Given the nature of the role, ERC Agents need to be empathetic, adaptable, flexible and responsive to changing circumstances.

We strive to deliver an exceptional standard of service at all times so agents must be customer focused with a drive to help individuals in difficult and often complex situations.
