Alcove - Help us keep elderly and vulnerable people safer and better connected by using digital technology


Our video care phone provides vulnerable people with virtual care and support via video - and those with little or no technical ability, are able to connect with loved ones and caregivers.

Many users have already told us that the videophones are having a positive impact on their life with users being able to connect with long lost friends who they haven't seen in years.


As part of this service to support vulnerable people, we are looking to recruit highly motivated individuals to join us as our Virtual Care Callers and play a key role in helping older and vulnerable people to live more independent lives.


What you will be doing:


Working a shift pattern four days out of seven per week (listed above), you'll perform virtual care calls over a video call watching vulnerable people take their medication and also perform a brief welfare check with them to ensure they are okay.


You'll be supporting people of all ages to maintain their health and wellbeing, including those people who are leaving hospital.


There are currently 14 calls to be made with more to be added as people are added to the services.


This will be a role that will need to be covered throughout the week including bank holidays on which you'll be paid at double time.
