This role sits within the Customer Experience team and is focused on ensuring complaints are accurately logged, tracked and administered in line with the Housing Ombudsman Complaint Handling Code.

Manage a high-volume complaints inbox, ensuring all enquiries are allocated and responded to appropriately.
Handle correspondence received from residents, MPs, councillors and other stakeholders.
Maintain accurate records and complaint data across digital systems.
Monitor complaint deadlines and support the team in meeting service KPIs and compliance requirements.
Process compensation requisition forms and maintain associated records.
Support the wider Customer Experience team with complaint-related administration and reporting.
Use SharePoint and other digital systems to organise documentation and manage workflows.
Assist with tracking complaint trends and producing management information where required.
Ensure all customer interactions are handled professionally, empathetically and in line with organisational standards.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will have:
Previous experience working within a Housing Association, Local Authority or social housing environment.
Experience in complaints administration, customer service coordination or case management.
An understanding of the Housing Ombudsman Complaint Handling Code.
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Experience managing busy inboxes and maintaining accurate records.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Confidence working with digital systems, including SharePoint and case management databases.
A keen eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining compliance and service standards.
The ability to work collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
