Your new company
You will be joining a busy and fast-paced Control Room environment within a large, Glasgow-based public service organisation. This team provides critical out-of-hours and emergency support across a range of services, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the local community.

What you'll need to succeed
- Previous experience in a call handling, contact centre, or similar environment is beneficial
- Strong communication and listening skills
- Ability to remain calm under pressure and manage high call volumes
- Excellent attention to detail and ability to multitask
- Confident using multiple IT systems
