About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

We are looking for a Digital Care Technician to work within the Connected Care Service. The Digital Care Technician play a vital role in ensuring that all equipment is installed, deinstalled and maintained safely and effectively in a timely manner to ensure service is maintained (this involves use of tools and ladders). As well as ensuring all customers and their family members/carers understanding how the equipment works and can use it effectively. The role is Monday to Saturday – only 1 Saturday will be worked within the month and the shift pattern is 9am to 5pm. 36 hours per week.

At Haringey, we are committed to ensuring that all adults can live healthy, fulfilling lives with dignity—remaining active, independent, and connected within their communities. As part of this commitment, we are embracing the power of Assistive Technology to offer smarter, more personalised support that adapts to people’s changing needs. Our Connected Care Service is a vital 24/7 community alarm and response service that provides reassurance and rapid support to residents across Haringey. Whether responding to emergencies or offering daily peace of mind, the service plays a crucial role in helping people remain safe and supported in their own homes. At the heart of this service are our Digital Care Technicians. These skilled professionals work directly with residents, families, and care teams to assess individual needs and install tailored digital solutions that promote independence and wellbeing. From wearable alarms to smart home sensors, our technicians ensure that technology is used meaningfully and effectively to enhance quality of life. Together, we’re building a more connected, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to adult social care—one that puts people first and embraces the possibilities of digital innovation.

About you

The candidate we are looking for should have experience of installing and maintaining assistive technology and telecare equipment in vulnerable service users homes. As this role requires the candidate to drive to service users home to install equipment, we are looking for experienced and competent drivers who hold a full clean UK driving licence. Council fleet vehicles are provided but passing the council driving assessment would be a requirement to use these.
