About the Role
We are seeking a hardworking, self-motivated individual to join our Delivery team as a Telephone Service Operative. This hands-on role supports our NWP (New World Payphone) products, ensuring equipment and services operate to required standards and timescales. You will be responsible for your own dedicated round, working across busy high streets, residential areas, and rural locations.

Your day-to-day duties will include repairing, testing, cleaning, and installing telephone lines and payphone equipment; fault-finding and diagnostics; replacing components; conducting site inspections; and installing or removing equipment. You will also use handheld technology to record completed work, maintain the repair facility at the branch, and follow company health and safety procedures and instructions.

Full training and ongoing support will be provided to help you succeed in this role.

Key responsibilities include:
- Repairing, testing, and cleaning telephone lines
- Using handheld technology to record work
- Troubleshooting and diagnostics to identify and resolve issues promptly
- Fault-finding and repairing/replacing component-level parts on payphone equipment both on-site and at the branch repair facility
- Conducting pre-installation site inspections
- Installing and removing equipment
- Managing the NWP repair facility at the branch depot, including tidiness and stock storage
- Implementing and maintaining the company’s Health & Safety Policy at all times
- Programming NWP advertising equipment on-site and at the branch depot following written and verbal instructions
