This is a Permanent, Full Time vacancy that will close in {x} days at {xx:xx} BST.

Are you a caring, reliable and customer-focused individual who wants to help people live independently in their own homes?

We're looking for compassionate and committed Carecall Officers to join our Independent Living Carecall Team. Our service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, supporting around 5,000 customers across Stockport through emergency alarm monitoring, welfare visits, falls response and telecare services. 

No two days are the same. One moment you could be providing reassurance over the phone to a vulnerable customer, and the next you could be responding to an emergency call, assisting someone who has fallen, or installing equipment that helps people stay safe and independent at home.

This role requires flexibility, as you will work on a rotating shift pattern that includes day shifts, night shifts, and weekends. You must be comfortable working alone at times and with different colleagues across shifts to ensure continuous service delivery.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Responding to emergency alarm calls and providing support and reassurance to customers.
  • Delivering welfare and emergency visits.
  • Providing a dynamic falls response service using specialist lifting equipment.
  • Installing, maintaining and promoting telecare equipment.
  • Identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns.
  • Working closely with customers, families, health professionals and colleagues to provide an excellent service.
  • Completing basic administration and using IT systems to maintain accurate records.


We're looking for people who:

  • Have a caring, empathetic and customer-focused approach.
  • Can remain calm and professional in challenging situations.
  • Are confident making decisions and taking responsibility for their actions.
  • Have excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Can work independently and as part of a team.
  • Are flexible and adaptable to meet the needs of a 24/7 service.
  • Hold a full UK driving licence

We are recruiting on a rolling basis, and applications will be reviewed regularly and interviews arranged throughout the campaign. We reserve the right to close this advert once sufficient applications have been received. 

The SHG “Be You” approach sums up our belief that everyone has the right to be who they are, and to be that person at work, in line with SHG’s Values. We’re always looking to improve diversity within our teams to enhance this culture and to be truly representative of the communities we work in.  

This role will be on SKylight terms and conditions.  

The successful applicant's appointment will be subject to satisfactory enhanced clearance by the Disclosure and Barring Service.  

We understand that if you don't meet every requirement, you may be hesitant to apply but we still want to hear from you and encourage you to submit an application detailing your experiences, achievements, and the value you can bring to our team.
