The call centre is the main communications for the Liverpool University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We receive approximately 130,000 calls per month and 20,000 outpatient appointment calls per month.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join the team. We are offering one 37.5 hour post with no set work pattern; you will be working according to the needs of the service. Previous roles in a similar environment are preferential as we are looking for someone who has an understanding of NHS terminology and structure. You will need to have experience working under pressure and be part of a team.
The department operates on a 24/7 service including all bank holidays and weekends, so a flexible approach to work is required.

Where staff absences or lateness for work would cause the switchboard to be unmanned, it is the requirement that the Telephonist on duty remains to cover the switchboard until relief is available. In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for staff to remain on duty to provide sufficient cover on the switchboard to handle the emergency. Staff may be requested from time to time to work over and above those hours within their contract to help cover absences of other members of staff.
