Carecall Officers in Hyde

Are you a caring, reliable and customer-focused individual who wants to help people live independently in their own homes? We're looking for compassionate and committed Carecall Officers to join our Independent Living Carecall Team. Our service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, supporting around 5,000 customers across Stockport through emergency alarm monitoring, welfare visits, falls response and telecare services. No two days are the same. One moment you could be providing reassurance over the phone to a vulnerable customer, and the next you could be responding to an emergency call, assisting someone who has fallen, or installing equipment that helps people stay safe and independent at home. This role requires flexibility, as you will work on a rotating shift pattern that includes day shifts, night shifts, and weekends. You must be comfortable working alone at times and with different colleagues across shifts to ensure continuous service delivery.
