What does a community responder do?
As a community responder working for NRS Healthcare technology enabled care service, you will respond to non-emergency calls placed to our alarm receiving centre (ARC).
The ARC receives calls from clients throughout North Yorkshire, who have requested assistance through their technology enabled care device.
The kind of calls you may respond to include:
- Non injury fall pick-ups – this is where the person may have fallen and is not injured, so does not require an ambulance, but is also unable to get themselves up. You will receive training and be issued with specialist equipment to assist you with these calls.
- Reassurance/check up calls – this may be where the person has fallen and been able to get up themselves but still need a bit of reassurance or it may be a call just to provide a bit of peace of mind to someone feeling unwell or anxious.
The service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year and you’ll work on a rota basis with the rest of your supportive team members.
