Job Introduction
Team Manager – Contact Centre
About the Role
We’re looking for a confident, people-focused Team Manager to join our Operations team, supporting the delivery of high-quality, safe and responsive services within our NHS 111 Contact Centre and wider Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) provision.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll lead, mentor and develop a team of Health Advisors, ensuring performance standards, quality requirements and patient safety expectations are consistently met. You’ll be a visible and accessible leader, supporting colleagues working both on-site and remotely, and balancing the needs of your people with the demands of a fast-paced, 24/7 service.
This is a highly operational role where your leadership, resilience and ability to manage complex people processes will make a real difference. You’ll use real-time performance data to drive improvement, support wellbeing and engagement, and help shape the ongoing development of IC24’s IUC services.
If you thrive in a dynamic contact centre environment, enjoy leading teams through challenge and change, and are passionate about delivering excellent care and service, this could be the ideal next step.
About You
You’re a strong, resilient and people-focused leader with experience managing teams in a contact centre or similarly fast-paced operational environment. You balance empathy with accountability and are confident addressing challenging behaviours while maintaining a supportive and inclusive culture.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in managing teams within a contact centre, urgent care, healthcare or high-volume service environments
- Confident handling complex people processes, including performance management, absence, disciplinaries and investigations
- Experienced in managing large, remote or hybrid teams
- Comfortable interpreting performance data and using it to drive improvement
- Calm under pressure, organised and able to manage competing priorities
- A clear and confident communicator, able to engage with stakeholders at all levels
- Values-led, with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality patient care
Experience gained within healthcare, public sector or charity settings is desirable; however, we also welcome applications from candidates with relevant commercial contact centre backgrounds, where there is strong evidence of transferable leadership and people management experience.
