Connected Care is a 24-hour, 365-day emergency service provided in-house by Haringey Council. It offers vulnerable residents a personal alarm system which can be activated in case of an emergency. Additionally, it provides a mobile response service for emergencies in residents' homes. We are seeking 2 Digital Care Technicians to work within the Connected Care Service.

The Digital Care Technicians play a vital role in ensuring that all equipment is installed, deinstalled, and maintained safely and effectively in a timely manner to ensure continuous service. This involves the use of tools and ladders. They are also responsible for ensuring that all customers and their family members/carers understand how the equipment works and can use it effectively.

The role is Monday to Saturday, with only 1 Saturday worked per month. The shift pattern is 9am to 5pm, totaling 36 hours per week.

Candidates should have experience installing and maintaining lifelines and telecare equipment in vulnerable service users' homes. Since the role requires driving to service users' homes to install equipment, candidates must hold a full clean UK driving licence. Council fleet vehicles are provided, but passing the council driving assessment is required to use these. Until then, candidates would use their own vehicles, with mileage paid.
