We're seeking friendly, resilient and customer-focused individuals to join our Contact Resolution Centres in Plymouth and Exeter. As a Contact Officer, you'll handle emergency and non-emergency calls, gathering critical information quickly and accurately while providing a professional and empathetic service. No two calls are the same, and you'll often support people during difficult or distressing situations.

This is a rewarding role with comprehensive training and ongoing support. Flexibility is essential, as shifts include nights, weekends and some bank holidays.

  • Additional training: 12 April 2027 to 23 April 2027

Part-Time Working

This is a full-time role. Flexible working requests may be submitted after appointment but cannot be guaranteed and will depend on operational requirements.
