Help keep Wolverhampton safe when it matters most
Are you calm under pressure, confident making decisions and passionate about helping people? We're looking for a Control Room Operator to join our 24/7 service, supporting customers and communities across the city. This is more than a customer service role. You'll monitor CCTV systems, respond to emergency and out-of-hours calls, support vulnerable customers through Telecare services, and coordinate responses to incidents as they happen. Working in a fast-paced environment, you'll need to think on your feet, make sound decisions and work closely with colleagues and partner agencies to help keep people safe.
What you’ll be doing:
As a Control Room Operator, you'll be at the heart of our city-wide response service, helping to ensure customers live in safe, secure and well-maintained communities.
Key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring CCTV, door entry, Telecare and other control room systems
- Responding to emergency, out-of-hours and customer service calls
- Supporting vulnerable customers who require urgent assistance
- Escalating incidents to internal teams and emergency services when required
- Gathering and recording accurate information and evidence
- Making informed decisions in a fast-paced environment
- Working collaboratively with colleagues and partner organisations to resolve issues
- Helping to maintain a high-quality service for customers across Wolverhampton
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
We're looking for someone who remains calm under pressure and takes pride in delivering excellent service.

- Do you have strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities?
- Are you a positive team player with a flexible, can-do attitude?
Previous experience in a control room, emergency response, housing, security, customer service or contact centre environment would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
