  • Report incidents promptly and in line with company procedures
  • Manage and organise your daily installation schedule independently
  • Maintain installation stock, tools and equipment
  • Share customer feedback and insights with the wider team
  • Deliver a professional, respectful and customer-focused service at all times
Requirements
  • Qualified Occupational Therapist
  • Experience working with assistive technology or home monitoring equipment
  • Strong practical and problem-solving skills
  • Confident using mobile apps, smart devices and connected technology
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Calm, empathetic and professional approach when working with vulnerable individuals
  • Ability to work independently and manage a field-based schedule
  • Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle preferred
  • Must be available to carry out visits within the South East London boroughs
Benefits
  • Fully remote working with field-based autonomy
  • Flexible 4-day working week
  • Opportunity to work in a rewarding and meaningful role
