We are currently looking for an enthusiastic individual to join the Trust's Grimsby Switchboard team.
The post holder will be responsible for handling all telephone calls through a busy switchboard as part of a team of patient-focused Telephonists within the Trust, ensuring the service supplied by the switchboard is provided to an acceptable standard. Enquires will come from the general public and all levels of staff. The post holder will handle emergency calls and alarm systems. The post holder must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to multi-task under pressure and have a basic comprehension of IT.

You will be working closely with other Telephonists and Switchboard Team Leaders where support and training is readily available. When your tailored training is completed, you will be able to assist the organisation with handling emergency calls and alarms systems, being a key stakeholder in supporting our patients. There are a few shifts where you are unable to leave the department however, there are facilities available to move away from the desk so you can have a break. There may be some flexibility with contracted hours, which we would more than happy to discuss.
We offer our team the opportunity to complete a range of apprenticeships, many are transferrable to other roles that we have in the organisation.
