Permanent Jobs in Bristol, eng, gb

We are currently recruiting for a complaints advisor to join the Legal and Regulatory team within our in-house Risk and Compliance team. This role is offered on a flexible working basis, from any of our UK offices (Bristol, London, Manchester, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham).

Your Role

As a key addition to our existing team, you can expect to be the lead advisor in the team on incoming complaints from third parties. The nature of some of the firm’s workstreams means we receive a number of third party queries and complaints, which while are mainly without merit, require detailed investigation and review.  This role is to support our senior claims lawyers in dealing with such complaints. You will :

• Liaise with our fee earning teams to investigate said incoming complaints and ensure complaints are dealt with in line with policies and procedures
• Advise on responses to complaints and any other recommended next steps, taking into account the Firm’s professional regulatory obligations
• Review and update third party complaints policies and procedures, where appropriate
• Suggest and implement improved processes for dealing with third party complaints
• Work with colleagues who manage notifications to our Professional Indemnity insurers if required on third party complaints
• Assist with reporting on third party complaints to senior stakeholders and any root cause analysis required

Your Skills & Experience

We are looking for someone with experience in handling complaints at a regulated firm. Experience in a regulated law firm is preferable, however, experience in other regulated firms will be considered. You must be a forward thinker with excellent analytical, communications and organisational skills, with the ability to independently manage priorities and deadlines.
