Call Handler
Call Handlers are the first point of contact within the Operational Support Desk, handling calls and emails effectively and efficiently in a calm and professional manner.
Calls and emails are received from frontline colleagues, management, other internal departments and a variety of internal and external stakeholders. Calls can range from mechanical and equipment defects to event vehicle requests for sporting events and royal engagements. Call Handlers ensure all calls and requests are dealt with professionally and logged clearly on our systems for them to action.
Working alongside OSD Logistics Coordinators you will be responsible for answering calls and emails relating to vehicle and equipment defects or any other fleet or equipment related concern.
At South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS), every role plays an important part in helping people when they need us most. Whether you work in frontline care, Emergency Operations Centres, or corporate support services, your contribution makes a real difference every day.
