We have a fantastic opportunity for full time Call Handlers to join our team based in Thurmaston, Leicester.
This is a full time position working Monday - Friday. Working hours will be discussed at interview. Please only apply if you are able to commit to this shift pattern.
The role
As a Call Handler you’ll play a key role in making sure our patients are treated with empathy, care and respect, from their very first phone call.
You’ll work in our contact centre, as part of a wider team, answering incoming enquiry calls from patients as well as healthcare providers such as hospitals, clinics and GP surgeries to arrange non-emergency patient transport. This is an essential service EMED supports the NHS with and includes journeys from a patient’s home to medical appointments and patient transfers between hospitals and healthcare settings.
Using our in-house IT systems, you’ll carry out screening as part of the eligibility criteria prior to booking transport. You’ll record patient details carefully and accurately, taking their individual circumstances and needs into consideration. You may be dealing with requests for same day transport or a future date. You’ll need good listening and communication skills to talk to people from different backgrounds and know how to show consideration, empathy and respect for patients. You’ll need good planning and organisational skills, as you’ll also be responsible for confirming patient journeys, by making outgoing calls to service users before their booked journey takes place.
From time to time, a patient may not be eligible for the patient transport service, so you may have to deliver a more difficult message and direct them to other more suitable transport options. Being used to handling those types of situations and working in a calm and professional manner is essential.
