About The Role

The Role within the Consolidated Contact Centre. This is a part time, 28 hours per week position.

Opportunities and Responsibilities in Islington’s Dynamic Call Centre Environment.

Introduction

In response to the evolving needs of Islington’s residents and the drive for service excellence, the borough has embarked on a significant initiative: the consolidation of its Repairs and Access Islington teams into a single, streamlined contact centre. Located initially at our Brewery Road site—with the prospect of future working from our 222 offices—this innovative centre offers a modern, hybrid working environment tailored to meet the highest standards of public service.

About the Consolidated Contact Centre

The newly formed contact centre represents a fusion of experience, expertise, and commitment, bringing together two crucial arms of Islington Council to enhance service delivery. By combining Repairs and Access Islington, the centre ensures a more efficient allocation of resources, improved responsiveness, and a unified approach to addressing resident needs.

Location and Work Arrangements

Successful applicants will begin their journey at the Brewery Road site, a hub designed to foster collaboration and productivity. Importantly, there is the flexibility to transition to our 222 offices in the future, reflecting our embrace of adaptive work arrangements. This role is hybrid in nature, blending office-based interactions with the opportunity for home working when aligned with the demands of the service. This flexibility empowers employees to balance their professional responsibilities with personal commitments, helping create a supportive and forward-thinking work culture.

Employment Terms

This position is offered as fixed-term contracts, each representing a gateway to meaningful work in local government. The contract stipulates a 28 hour working week.

Main Responsibilities

As a member of the consolidated contact centre, your role is central to the borough’s commitment to exceptional service. You will be on the front line, fielding calls from a diverse array of Islington residents. Some callers may require additional care and support; others may be facing distressing circumstances. Your actions and your attitude will help shape their experience.

Responding to telephone inquiries from residents regarding repairs, and council services.
Offering empathetic guidance and practical solutions in line with council policy and service standards.
Supporting residents who may be experiencing distress or urgent need, with kindness and confidence.
Documenting calls accurately and efficiently, ensuring clear communication across service channels.
Collaborating with colleagues to resolve complex issues and deliver seamless service.
Maintaining professional standards of confidentiality, integrity, and respect in every interaction.

Key Qualities and Values

Success in this role is built upon a foundation of compassion, resilience, and professionalism. The qualities we seek include:

Kindness: At the heart of public service is genuine caring. You will demonstrate this in every interaction, making residents feel heard and valued.
Confidence: Handling calls from a wide range of individuals, some in challenging circumstances, requires self-assurance and calm under pressure.
Ability to Support Distressed Residents: You will be equipped—through training and personal attributes—to guide and assist those who may need extra care.
Adaptability: The environment is dynamic and fast-paced, and you will thrive by adjusting to new challenges and changing demands.
Teamwork: Success here is collaborative; you will work closely with peers and supervisors to deliver a unified service.
Inclusivity: Our centre is built on respect and inclusion, welcoming colleagues and residents from all backgrounds.

Training and Development

We are committed to your growth. Upon joining, you will receive comprehensive training covering the full suite of services supported by Islington Council. This investment in your development extends beyond initial induction; ongoing learning opportunities are available to help you build skills, deepen your knowledge, and advance your career. Training is designed not only to equip you for the role but also to foster an inclusive environment in which every team member can flourish.

Supportive Work Culture

The contact centre is more than just a workplace—it is a community. We pride ourselves on a supportive approach to working. Colleagues look out for one another, managers are accessible and responsive, and wellbeing is a core priority. Our inclusive ethos ensures that everyone’s contribution is valued and that diversity is celebrated. We believe that a happy team delivers the best service, and we strive to create an environment in which you can bring your whole self to work.

Career Development

While these roles are fixed-term, they serve as an excellent springboard for those seeking longer-term employment in the public sector. The experience gained here provides valuable insights into council operations, resident engagement, and service delivery. Opportunities for advancement may arise for those who demonstrate commitment, initiative, and a passion for helping others.

Shift Patterns and Allowances

Your working hours are structured to support both resident accessibility and work-life balance. The shift pattern is designed to ensure that residents have access to support when they most need it, while also recognizing the importance of downtime and personal time for our staff. The additional shift allowance for qualifying hours reflects our appreciation for your flexibility and dedication.

Whether you are new to call centre work or bringing prior experience, you will find here a place to grow, contribute, and thrive.

Conclusion

These roles in the consolidated contact centre represent a unique opportunity to join a progressive and supportive team dedicated to serving the residents of Islington. With full training, flexible working arrangements, and a strong commitment to employee wellbeing, you will be empowered to deliver outstanding service while building your skills and advancing your career.

About You

Working for the team, service and our organisation

Islington is a place rich with diversity and culture. As a council our sense of purpose couldn’t be clearer: we serve. It’s in the logo. We are committed to challenging inequality in the borough and as one of the largest employers we know that to look after the place and the planet, we have to look after our people. Together we can change the future.

We are determined to create a more equal Islington, where everyone who lives here has an equal chance to thrive.

To do this, everyone who works at Islington Council lives by a set of values which guide us in everything that we do: collaborative, ambitious, resourceful, and empowering. They spell out ‘CARE’, which is what we think public service is all about.

Our offer to you

We are committed to challenging inequality in the borough and as one of the largest employers we know that to look after the place and the planet, we have to look after our people. Our staff benefits include:

Up to 31 days leave per year, increasing to 36 days after five years of local government service
A range of flexible working arrangements to maintain a healthy work-life balance, as well as a 35-hour working week
Learning and development opportunities to maximise your potential
Competitive pay and a commitment to paying all staff the London Living Wage at minimum
Excellent local government pension scheme
Cycle to Work scheme and discounted gym memberships
Local discounts from restaurants, shops, health and beauty therapists, and more!

Please note: Priority will be given to those at risk of redundancy within Islington Council. Current employees who are part of the redeployment pool must meet the essential criteria for shortlisting to be prioritised.

Workforce Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and equitable workforce, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our workforce strategy places equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of everything we do, reaffirming our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusion. We strive to create an environment where all colleagues feel they belong and can safely express their thoughts, ideas, and challenges, without fear of judgement or discrimination.

We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any unlawful discrimination, harassment, or victimisation on the grounds of any protected characteristics under the 2010 Equality Act, including but not limited to race, disability, sexual orientation, sex, religion and belief, age, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy, and maternity. Any incidents of discrimination will be promptly investigated and addressed in line with our HR policies to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all colleagues.

We use data to identify and address disparities, ensuring that our policies and practices are transparent and impactful in promoting a diverse representation of backgrounds and perspectives at all levels of the organisation. We look at inequality through an intersectional lens, recognising that different aspects of someone’s identity can combine to create unique experiences of discrimination and disadvantage.

We know that advancing diversity and inclusion is a continuous journey, and we must listen to our colleagues and learn where we can further improve. We work closely with our Colleague Forums and Trade Unions, supported by active allies from our Corporate Management Team, to monitor and evaluate our practices, identify barriers, and empower colleagues to promote equality and inclusion in the workplace.

Every one of us has a role to play in making Islington Council a truly inclusive workplace. By living out our CARE (collaborative, ambitious, resourceful, and empowering) values every day and embedding the principles of equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our work, we can all actively contribute to empowering people and creating a more equal Islington.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff, and volunteers to share this commitment. Some posts are subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 and it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
