Initially, the successful candidate will support the Customer Experience Leadership team to design and develop the feedback learning approach, focussing first on how we can learn continuously and effectively from complaint handling, before broadening the approach to include additional customer insight.

They'll actively monitor complaint data and analysis shared by our Customer Feedback team, as well as adjudication outcomes and learning shared by the Housing Ombudsman service. Using this insight, the Customer Experience Improvement Lead will work directly with key stakeholders and our operational teams to ensure trends and opportunities to adapt our services are well understood, enabling colleagues to deliver an excellent customer experience and supporting Karbon's efforts to reduce dissatisfaction and formal complaint handling volumes.

The Customer Experience Improvement Lead will lead workshops and complaint review activity manage, managing action plans of learning and improvement activity established from these sessions through to successful completion, whilst support the wider team to articulate progress and success of learning and improvement initiatives.

We're looking for a motivated and experienced individual who can support us to develop our approach to learning from complaints, and successfully lead the agreed approach across Karbon.

Ideally, you'll have a background in delivering service improvements based on customer feedback - in particular from handling complaints. Up to date knowledge of issues facing the housing sector, as well as regulatory expectations in complaint handling from the Housing Ombudsman Service, and Regulator of Social Housing would be beneficial.

You'll have a keen eye for data and insight, and interpreting customer feedback, as well as strong stakeholder engagement skills to help get improvement opportunities into development across the business.

You'll be comfortable leading workshops and complaint review activities that will engage and inspire colleagues to take action, whilst also reflecting on areas of excellent service delivery that should be celebrated and replicated.
