Any way to set an alert to go off repeatedly if I receive texts from a specific number?

Hello. I've never used an iPhone before, and I was recently provided one by my employer. Sometimes I am expected to be on call, and need to setup my phone to have an alert repeatedly go off when I receive texts from a specific number, preferably not stopping until I view the text, so that it wakes me up if I am asleep. i figured out how to set a specific ringtone for a number , but it only seems to play about 5 seconds, I'd probably sleep through it. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Go to message settings - notification - customize notification - set to your desire, however this done for all text message and can't be set for a specific number.
