Bank Switchboard Operator
We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable, and customer-focused individuals to join our Bank Switchboard Team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn.
- Flexibility and Adaptability: You will need to be flexible and adaptable, well-organised with good time management skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and have an awareness of the importance of confidentiality issues.
- PC Proficiency and Multi-tasking: Proficiency in PC use is essential. The ability to multi-task, including working under pressure and dealing with any emergency situations that may arise, is important.
As a Switchboard Operator, you will be the first point of contact for staff, patients, visitors, and external organisations, providing a professional and efficient communication service across the Trust. You will play a vital role in supporting hospital operations and helping to ensure patient safety through the accurate handling of calls, messages, and emergency communications. This is a varied and fast-paced role where no two shifts are the same. Working on the Trust Bank offers flexibility, allowing you to work shifts that support both service requirements and your personal commitments. Shifts may be available across days, evenings, nights, weekends, and bank holidays.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
