More about your role

As a Senior Customer Resolution Co-ordinator, you'll take ownership of complex and escalated customer complaints, managing cases from initial investigation through to resolution. You'll work across the organisation to ensure concerns are fully understood, thoroughly investigated and resolved fairly, delivering clear and high-quality outcomes for our Customers.

Working closely with operational teams, contractors and stakeholders, you'll gather and review evidence, challenge findings where appropriate and make balanced decisions in line with policy, procedure and regulatory requirements. You'll ensure agreed actions are progressed effectively and Customers are kept informed throughout the complaints process.

You'll also play an important role in identifying recurring themes, service failures and opportunities for improvement, using insight from complaints to support learning and help improve the services we provide.

As part of the wider Complaints Service, you'll manage a varied caseload and support the team in responding to changing business needs. This will include maintaining accurate case records, managing correspondence, monitoring actions and ensuring complaints are resolved within agreed timescales.

• Ability to review, analyse and appropriately challenge findings to ensure complaints are handled consistently and fairly.
• Strong written communication skills, with experience producing clear and detailed responses for Customers and stakeholders.

More about you

You will have a strong background in complaint resolution and be confident managing complex cases independently from investigation through to resolution. You'll be comfortable gathering and analysing information, asking the right questions and making balanced decisions based on the evidence available.

You will have excellent attention to detail, strong written and verbal communication skills and a genuine commitment to achieving fair and positive outcomes for Customers.

Highly organised and comfortable managing competing priorities, you'll be able to build effective relationships with colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation. You'll also be passionate about continuous improvement, using feedback and complaint insight to identify learning and help improve our services.

Experience within a regulated environment, particularly housing, and knowledge of the Housing Ombudsman's Complaint Handling Code would be advantageous.
