We are after Dynamic, fun, hardworking individuals to join our team here at CallEEAST as a Call Handler/Dispatcher.
Role Overview
The role of the Ergea Call Dispatcher is to ensure all messages are accurately passed to the relevant contract within an appropriate timeframe. This role requires a high level of accuracy. Dispatchers are also expected to answer operational calls that come into the contact centre and to provide assistance over the telephone using the appropriate software/triaging tools. If necessary, put the caller in touch with other Service providers, as appropriate. The position will require interaction not only with the public but also other healthcare professionals, emergency services and community organisations. The call centre has a 24-hour function and it is a requirement of the job that call handlers (whole time, part time or bank staff) will be available to work weekend and bank holidays, including Christmas Day and Easter, in accordance with allocated rostered duties.
