Our Shetland Responder Service provides low level, short term support to those who arrive on Shetland after an emergency incident offshore, liaising with their family and their employer, working as part of the Royal Voluntary Service team in Shetland, whose office is at Market House, Lerwick.
As a Responder you will be available to be on-call 24/7 for an agreed period, usually for one week at a time, available to receive a telephone call, on a rotational basis with other RVS Shetland Responders. Once the call is received you may or may not be required to travel to the Airport or to the Hospital to support the person affected by the incident. At all times you will ensure that excellent standards of communication and customer care are maintained, including support and welfare which may involve a range of activities such as shopping, companionship and making contact calls to family and employers as necessary. As a relief employee of Royal Voluntary Service you will be paid only when called out to respond. As a Responder you will also be expected to maintain records and reports in connection with the role. All out of pocket expenditure will be reimbursed. Full training for this role will be given. The successful candidate must have a valid driving licence and have access to a car.
