🏥 Supporting our community, together

Last week, the Torbay Community Helpline had the opportunity to visit Torbay Hospital to raise awareness of the support available through our Helpline, as part of our pilot project focused on reducing hospital admissions through voluntary sector involvement, funded by Torbay Council.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to come and meet us, learn more about the Helpline and explore how we can work together to support people in our community. 💙

We’re also very grateful to Torbay Council for giving us the opportunity to be part of this important pilot and to demonstrate the valuable role that voluntary and community organisations can play in supporting people before they reach crisis point.

The Torbay Community Helpline has already planned a series of regular visits to Torbay Hospital, allowing us to continue building relationships with colleagues, connecting with patients and professionals, and making sure people know where they can turn for support.

We can’t wait to see you again!

Now hiring - Callhandler, 12 hours a week for Torbay Community Helpline



The Helpline has become a ‘front door’ to the support services that are available in Torbay. Following consultation, the Torbay Health and Wellbeing Voluntary Sector Network decided to retain the Helpline to provide Covid-related, cost of living crisis and wider support.

Currently managed by Torbay Communities, the Helpline is now being staffed for the future and we seek some exceptional individuals to take this innovation forward alongside our Helpline Manger.

Our call handler post will answer calls from the public, record their details accurately and ensure they get passed onto the right triage worker to get them the support they need.

Deadline for applications: 5pm, Friday 14th August 2026

For further details, including how to apply, visit our website: https://www.torbaycommunities.com/now-hiring-call-handler-for-torbay-community-helpline/
