999 Emergency Call Handler

2 weeks ago

Norwich, United Kingdom East of England Ambulance Service Trust Full time

Can you keep a cool head at times of crisis? Do you care about others? Do you want a career helping those in need? If the answer is yes, then this could be the job for you
We are looking for Call Handlers to work 12 hour shifts flexibly from Monday to Sunday. This will be a mixture of day and night shifts
Our emergency call handlers are committed, enthusiastic individuals who care about people. They must have the ability to listen and respond, processing information quickly and accurately into the Computer Aided Dispatch system. Customer service skills are important and the ability to remain calm and supportive as some callers will be experiencing significant distress and trauma, including the loss of a loved one. Being able to remain focused on giving the right advice and support despite experiencing the emotions of others is a real skill and strong calm communication is required.
All the training and mentoring you will need to undertake this role will be provided - no clinical experience is required; however, we do ask that you read the pre employment guidance which will support you when you commence training.
All of the instructions and advice you will be giving to callers/patients is managed through a triage tool, it is intuitive and will present to you at the right time.
No clinical experience is required, and although some call-centre experience would be an advantage, it is not essential.
Answer 999 calls that come into the Emergency Operating Centre in a timely manner. Utilise the clinical triage software system you will have been trained in to deliver a category of response to our callers. Please note, there may be a change to this software, in the future and if so, full training will be provided. You are required to be polite, courteous and respectful at all times when talking to patients, callers and your peers, in line with the Trusts values and behaviours. Working for our organisation
EEAST provides emergency services across a diverse region. Our Call Centre teams are a dedicated and resilient group, as the first point of contact with patients in their time of need.
You'll have the opportunity to work in one of the most diverse regions in the country, with the vibrant capital city just a stone's throw away and the invigorating North Sea coast to the east.
At EEAST we bring together all our skills to provide 24 hour, 365 days a year urgent care to those in need of emergency and non-emergency medical treatment and transport in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
We are always looking to innovate our approaches and work together to offer the best possible patient care across our counties.
We at EEAST want to support our employees achieve a balance between work and other priorities, such as caring responsibilities, family commitments, further learning, and other interests. We therefore welcome flexible working requests.
For a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the role, including all its specific requirements and responsibilities, please consult the attached Job Description and Person Specification. This document provides an in-depth overview that will give you a clear and detailed picture of what the position entails.
