Join BT and Make a Difference
BT is the UK's largest telecom provider, known for industry-leading expertise, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive training.
This is a Safety Critical Role, where you will be the first point of contact for 999 calls-including emergencies for the Police, Ambulance, Fire & Rescue, Coast Guard, and Mountain Rescue. BT has proudly handled 999 calls for over 85 years, remaining calm, confident, and reliable in high-pressure situations.
Your Role as a 999 Call Handler
As a Customer Service Advisor, your key responsibility is to quickly assess the caller's situation and direct them to the appropriate emergency service. Your calls will typically last between 30-60 seconds, requiring a structured yet compassionate approach.

BT provides extensive Full-Time training with hours covering both days and evenings and continuous support from experienced trainers, team leaders, and colleagues.
As part of BT Voice Services, you'll have the opportunity to develop multi-skilled expertise beyond emergency calls-including Rapid Response, Relay UK Services, and Directory Enquiries.
