Join the VIPOAP network
Use your technology skills to help people in your local area
VIPOAP is building a trusted network of patient, capable local technology professionals who can help customers feel safer and more confident with everyday technology.
Local work. Trusted standards.
Choose the area and availability that suit you. VIPOAP provides the booking platform, customer experience, service standards and support that sit around the work.
The role
Friendly technology help in customers’ homes
VIPOAP professionals help with practical everyday problems such as Wi-Fi, computers, phones, tablets, printers, smart TVs and new-device setup.
The role is as much about patience and communication as technical ability. Many customers may be older, nervous about technology or simply want somebody trustworthy to explain things clearly.
What VIPOAP provides
- Access to suitable customer booking opportunities in areas you cover
- VIPOAP OS for bookings, customer records, visits and follow-ups
- Clear service, safety, privacy and customer-care standards
- Training, guidance and ongoing platform support
- A professional VIPOAP profile and identification process
- Secure platform-managed customer payments
Booking volume and earnings are not guaranteed. Availability depends on customer demand, your coverage, skills, availability and service quality.
How joining works
A careful approval process before customer work
We want customers to know that the person entering their home has been properly assessed and understands the VIPOAP standard.
Initial conversation
We discuss your experience, customer approach, local demand and whether joining VIPOAP looks like a good fit.
Checks and assessment
Suitable applicants complete identity and background checks, relevant insurance checks, skills assessment and VIPOAP training.
Approved profile
Once approved, your profile can become eligible for suitable bookings in the services, times and postcode areas you cover.
Approval is not automatic. We may pause recruitment in an area when there is not enough customer demand to support another professional.
What we look for
Technical confidence with a patient service mindset
Technical capability
- Confident troubleshooting Wi-Fi, routers and mesh networks
- Comfortable with phones, tablets, Windows computers, printers and smart TVs
- Good awareness of accounts, backups, updates, passwords and online scams
- A methodical approach and the judgement to stop or escalate unfamiliar work
- Willingness to keep learning and complete practical assessments
Professional approach
- Patient, calm communication and respect for older or vulnerable customers
- Reliable transport if you want to provide home visits
- Comfort using secure digital systems and keeping accurate records
- Suitable insurance and willingness to complete required checks
- Commitment to VIPOAP privacy, safeguarding, conduct and aftercare standards
Flexible by design
You choose when and where you are available
VIPOAP is being built around independent local professionals rather than fixed shifts. You can specify your normal availability, postcode coverage and the types of Technology work you are approved to provide.
You remain free to work elsewhere and can decline opportunities that do not suit you, subject to the final professional agreement and service standards.
Good to know
- No promise of a minimum number of bookings
- No need to be available every day
- Customer bookings are managed through VIPOAP
- Repeat customers can build familiarity with trusted professionals
- Recruitment may be demand-led by postcode area
