Helpline Advisor

We are a fast-paced national Helpline which provides advice, information and support to members of the public and professionals who wish to access the NSPCC via telephone, email and social media.

As a Helpline Advisor you will be the first point of contact for adults wishing to report child protection concerns. With empathy and sensitivity, you will be able to provide reassurance to callers whilst also ensuring you efficiently identify initial key points of the concerns being shared.

This is your opportunity to build on your front-line enquiry and safeguarding assessment skills within a unique and highly influential national service. It is also a chance to work for an organisation whose core value is putting children first and for you to make a positive impact on thousands of families across the UK.

What are the expected shifts at the NSPCC Helpline?

The Helpline operates a hybrid-working model, with an option that one in three weeks is worked from home; these will be a mix of day and evening shifts. IT equipment will be provided, but you will need to have an ergonomic workspace at home that will allow you to work confidentially and keep organisational information secure.

The NSPCC Helpline is operational every day and the post holder will be required to work a rota shift pattern that covers the period 8am-9pm on weekdays and 9am-6pm on weekends. This also includes working weekends and bank holidays. We are looking to recruit to a part-time (17.5hour) position.
