First Line Support Manager - Canary Care

Job Title: First Line Support Manager 
Location: Winchester with a minimum of 3 days on-site 
Salary: £33,000 and a discretionary bonus  

We’re Canary Care, a small but mighty Technology for Care business empowering families and care providers to deliver safer, more proactive, and more efficient support that helps people live independently with our smart home monitoring solution.  

Our system uses a range of discreet, non‑intrusive wireless sensors that monitor key patterns such as movement, door activity, temperature, light levels, and daily routines without cameras or microphones.  

With families living further apart, and pressures on the care sector continuing to rise, our goal is to provide the most effective Activity Monitoring System on the market, one that supports improving outcomes, reducing risk, optimising resources, and enabling people to remain independent for longer. 

The Canary Care system helps families and professional care teams make confident, evidence‑based decisions. It removes guesswork, highlights change in behaviour and provides reassurance when everything is stable, while also identifying where additional support may be needed.

By bridging the gap between reactive and proactive care, we help providers deliver safer, more person‑centred care at scale. 

What Does This Role Involve?        

As a First Line Support Manager you will elevate the customer support experience across both software and hardware products.

This is a hands‑on, process‑focused role that ensures customers receive fast, effective, and empathetic help whenever they need it.

You’ll be the heartbeat of our support function, managing ticket workflows, maintaining service levels and ensuring every interaction increases trust in the Canary Care brand.

You’ll work closely with internal teams including engineering, customer success and operations as a key part in maintaining stability, consistency, and high‑quality service during a pivotal moment for the business.

What You’ll Be Doing 

• Oversee and optimise first‑line support workflows to ensure fast, accurate, and empathetic responses

• Maintain and improve service levels, ensuring customers feel supported and informed
• Act as the central coordination point for escalations, incidents, and cross‑team communication
• Work closely with engineering and product teams to ensure customer feedback drives continuous improvement
• Provide clarity on ticket priorities and what’s “live” across the support landscape
• Help shape support processes, documentation, and best practices 

Who Are We Looking For?  

You will have experience working within a customer support, service desk, or technical support environment, with a strong understanding of ticketing systems, workflows, and service level management.

Your excellent communication skills will allow you to translate technical issues into clear language, and bring a calm, structured approach to incident coordination and escalation handling.

You’ll have genuine passion for improving processes and delivering exceptional customer experiences, along with the ability to collaborate effectively across internal teams.

Your role might involve having access to some sensitive information, so you’ll most likely need to go through some enhanced security vetting.        

Our employees, just like our customers come from all walks of life, and we’re fuelled in championing diversity, inspiring an inclusive culture, and enabling an environment where you can be your authentic self.
