Full Job Description
Answer operational calls that come into the EOC. Utilise the chosen clinical
triage software system in order to prioritise calls as soon as possible. Enter
information into the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system accurately and
promptly. Provide pre-arrival advice to callers where appropriate.
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 at our Emergency Operations Centre in Chelmsford.
We are also extremely interested in those that would consider Flexible working & 8 hour Shifts for Call Handling
Our emergency call handlers are hardworking, enthusiastic and must process information quickly and accurately to support patients ensuring that data is accurately input into the Computer Aided Dispatch system, whilst ensuring high levels of customer service. The information and advice you will be giving to patients is managed through a triage tool and will give you the essential information at the time. All the training and mentoring you will need to undertake this role will be provided - no clinical experience is required.
We need individuals who have a good standard of education to include 4 GCSEs at Grade C or above (including English Language), or equivalent qualifications or experience, and good computer literacy. No clinical experience is required, and although some call-centre experience would be an advantage, it is not essential. Candidates will need to pass two online assessments and we will need to carry out enhanced background checks.
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 aim to represent and value the diversity of our local communities through our workforce and service provision. We therefore positively encourage applications from under-represented groups, such as Black, Asian, or other ethnic groups, individuals with a Disability, or LGBTQ+ individuals who meet the specific criteria.
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.
