Join Our Team as a Permanent Control Room Helpdesk Operator – Days Only, Inclusive of Some Weekends

Are you calm under pressure, highly organised, and looking for a permanent daytime role where your work supports vital operations across the UK? We're hiring a Control Room Helpdesk Operator at our National Operations Centre in Northampton. This is a days-only position with a structured rotating shift pattern that includes some weekends.


What You'll Do:

Support Real-Time Operations:
You'll handle inbound and outbound communications to ensure security shifts are booked and covered efficiently across a national portfolio.

Helpdesk Duties:
Provide frontline support to our field teams, answering queries, escalating issues where needed, and working to resolution using our internal systems.

Live Monitoring and Response:
From our central control room, you'll help monitor live systems, respond to shift alerts, and support managers with timely updates.

Data Entry & Systems Use:
You'll input, manage, and maintain accurate shift data across multiple platforms. Your attention to detail will help us maintain clean and auditable records.

Work Collaboratively:
You'll be part of a highly supportive team, working alongside Team Leaders, senior managers, and field-based staff to ensure our services run smoothly.


What We're Looking For:

Organised and Focused: Able to juggle multiple tasks while maintaining accuracy.

IT Confident: Comfortable working with scheduling and reporting systems.

Effective Communicator: Clear, confident phone and email communication is key.

Proactive and Reliable: You take ownership of your shift and work with urgency and purpose.

Adaptable: While this is a days-only role, you'll need to work flexibly within a rota, including some weekends.


Why Join Us?

  • Stable Day Shifts: You'll work only during daytime hours, with a structured rota including some weekends—no overnight shifts required.

  • Training Provided: We'll give you all the training you need to succeed in the role.

  • Team Environment: Join a professional and supportive team in a fast-paced control room.

  • Career Progression: Be part of a company where development and internal growth are valued.
