You can expect to be part of a collegial and supportive team, with a strong emphasis on knowledge-sharing, continuous learning, mutual respect, and personal development.

This role is a post for someone with confidence and initiative to take responsibility and make decisions and be confident of your own abilities and potential. On a day-to-day basis, you will utilise internal systems to record and then investigate complaints. You will look to resolve swiftly and effectively, suggesting remedial actions, always with a customer-first mindset. A core element of the role is liaising with customers, either via telephone or email, harnessing your customer service and communication skills to build rapport and reach a satisfactory outcome.

You must have strong communication skills, be able to liaise with customers, wholesalers, staff, colleagues, and the regulator. Dealing with customers, you must be able to blend approachability with a clear, confident and measured response.

What you'll get in return

The position offers a highly competitive salary, along with a day-time shift pattern of Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. The company offers a strong pension scheme, as well as the option for hybrid working.
