Be the first response when it matters most.

At Verisure, our Alarm Call Handlers are at the heart of our 24/7 monitoring operation. When a customer’s alarm is triggered, you are the calm, decisive voice that takes control, assessing the situation, protecting people and property, and coordinating the right response.

Experience delivering excellent customer service
Clear, confident communication skills
Calm and patient approach, even in high-pressure situations
Strong problem-solving and decision-making ability
Ability to multitask while maintaining accuracy and quality
Comfortable following processes and protocols precisely
Good IT skills and accurate data entry
A team-focused attitude and willingness to support others
