Helpline Advisor

We are Diabetes UK and our mission is to tackle diabetes, day in and day out, until it can do no harm. With more people than ever living with diabetes and millions more at risk of developing Type 2, our work has never been more needed.

You will play a key role in supporting people impacted by diabetes by communicating clearly on the phone and through our written platforms to a diverse range of audiences. Diabetes doesn't just impact you physically but emotionally too, so a key aspect to this role will be you ability to handle distressed callers empathically while also following our safeguarding policies.

In order to provide people impacted by diabetes with the up to date information you will proactively update your knowledge of diabetes and key issues by reading relevant information updates. You will also be confident and competent in using IT and CRM programmes in order to follow recording processes in a timely manner. You will be able to show resilience and manage the everyday pressures which can occur during a live service and prioritise your workload to deliver a high quality service while also meeting service level agreements.

We offer a range of benefits, including a health cash plan, early finish Fridays and access to a strong learning and development offer. You can find full details attached below.
