We are seeking to hire two (2) to three (3) additional professional telephone receptionists. We have 2 positions for part time hours (minimum of 20 hours per week). The following hours are needed for coverage:

• Evenings between the hours of 3:00 PM and 12:00 AM (Part Time)
• Split Shifts are also available for this position.

Working at least one weekend day is a requirement for this position. If you have a strong work ethic, effective communication skills, an empathetic and compassionate personality, and a positive attitude, we would love to have you as part of our team! For the last 30+ years, Always On Call has been providing virtual receptionist, customer service, emergency dispatch, and switchboard services to a wide range of exclusive clientele. As a Telephone Receptionist, you will be the first impression for businesses, non-profits, and government agencies, serving as an extension of their office when they are unable to answer the phone personally. Ultimately, this position is all about providing an integral service to assist callers in their time of need. To be successful in this position, you must have a pleasant personality, professional demeanor, and able to enunciate clearly. The ability to answer multiple calls in a timely manner and use American business etiquette on calls, with accurate spelling, grammar, and sentence structure are essential for this position. As a 24/7 industry, this position requires working in shifts, so flexibility is a plus. Who We Are: Always On Call is an essential service provider, representing business professionals, home healthcare and hospice services, medical offices, funeral homes, trade services and contractors, hospitality companies, government agencies, and crisis hotlines.
