Do you want to make a difference to people’s lives?
Radius Connect 24 is the leading provider of personal alarm care and support services supporting over 20,000 households to live independently throughout Ireland with timely access to 24/7 support whenever required.
We support anyone of any age who is concerned about personal well-being or home safety, or who may feel anxious about managing on their own.
Our service model is client centred. At its simplest, this is the provision of an alarm unit and a pendant to enable clients to easily call for help. Additional sensors, connected to the alarm unit, are provided, and installed where requested to automatically alert potential incidents. The key benefit is reassurance and peace of mind to both the individual client and their support network of both informal and formal carers
Due to the increased demand for our services, we are looking to expand our current team of 30+ call advisors, based in Holywood County Down.
What is the role like?
This is not your average call centre job. This is a front-line telephone-based role with a real social purpose. The role of a Call Advisor is central to the delivery of an effective, consistent, client-focused service.
The Call Advisor is the first key point of contact for clients and its essential clients receive the help and support they require in a timely, professional manner.
This means offering reassurance and agreeing an appropriate response to every call connecting clients to responders or emergency services if necessary
As well as deal with incoming alarm calls, we provide a range of outgoing call services such as health and wellbeing calls to support people who may be isolated in our communities.
What do you need to apply?
The role of a Call Advisor requires excellent communication skills to engage with clients in a way that ensures a good experience, achieves the desired outcome, and keeps clients at the centre of the service. This involves demonstrating empathy and understanding and building rapport with clients ensuring trust and confidence in the service.
On the application form, candidates are asked to detail how they meet the following essential criteria:
* Good general level of education, to include GCSEs (at a minimum of Grade C), or equivalent qualification, in both English and Maths.
* Minimum of 6 months’ relevant experience providing a front-line customer service.
* IT literacy, as evidenced by substantial practical experience in the use of a range of Microsoft Office software, or other broad range of equivalent office software packages.
If shortlisted for interview, applicants will be asked to provide examples of how they have the key competencies to be successful in the role.
