  About us
  Fire Fighters Charity provides care and support to the UK’s fire services community and their families, helping with health and wellbeing challenges during and after service.

  We help our fire family to adapt to physical, emotional and social challenges; to live well with conditions, injuries and illness; and to transition to life after service.

  We are looking for an Intake and Navigation Coordinator to be a key member of the Intake and Navigation Team, supporting our service users from the point of first contact.

  About the role
  As a key member of the Intake and Navigation team, you will be serving as the first point of contact for service users accessing health and wellbeing support. In this frontline role, you will respond to live inbound calls and online support requests, often involving individuals with complex needs, high levels of presenting risk, and vulnerable Service Users.

  You will be responsible for conducting triage to identify immediate risks, prioritise presenting needs, and determine eligibility for services. Focusing on those who are most vulnerable, you will need to exercise sound judgement and professional accountability in ensuring that urgent and high-risk cases are escalated appropriately, managed sensitively, and supported effectively.

  Your duties will include providing clear information, advice, and signposting, making internal referrals for assessment and ongoing support, and conducting follow-up calls to ensure coordinated, person-centred care.

  You will play a vital role in safeguarding and ensuring that service users with complex or escalating needs are navigated to the right support quickly and compassionately.

  This role is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Services check.

  About You
  Our ideal candidate will have experience of:

  • a helpline, crisis line, or front-facing triage role within health, mental health, or social care settings

  • assessing and managing high-risk, complex, or vulnerable service users, including safeguarding situations

  • delivering person-centred support in high-pressure environments where quick and informed decision-making is required

  • using structured triage or risk assessment tools to prioritise and manage service user enquiries

  • working with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate support across multiple pathways and services
