Job as 999 call handler manager on offer with an impressive salary

Call handlers provide a critical service in a contact centre where speed and response saves lives.

This job doesn't just involve leading your own team, but supporting, developing and managing your fellow team leader's teams.

"We provide the Relay UK service to those people who need it most. Helping people with hearing and speech difficulties communicate with anyone over the phone. We are that vital link. We also support direct enquiry calls and operator assisted calls.

"We need our team leaders to be able to act under pressure, with a cool head supporting the teams around them. Whilst doing this making sure the caller or the situation is at the heart of everything that they do."

BT said candidates will need to have a range of skills, such as demonstrable experience of effective people management including of an operational team, with call centre management experience also being desirable.
