Coordinating carers for emergency cover if needed (standby cover will be arranged in advance for evenings and weekends)
Logging incidents and escalating issues appropriately
Working Pattern
One week on, one week off (Could be some variation to this for the right candidate)
Remote working – handle calls from the comfort of your own home
Option to work on a contracted salaried basis or casual worker agreement, based on your preference
Why Work With Us?
Average £25/hour (for actual call-handling time) - £250 a week!
Discounts at major high-street brands
Your birthday off – every year

Work from home with full support and backup systems in place
