  • Applying relevant policies, regulatory standards, and best practice when making decisions
  • Investigating and responding to complex and multi-service complaints, including specialist investigations
  • Meeting with residents (including home visits where required) to support resolution
  • Drafting clear, accurate, and evidence-based complaint and enquiry responses
  • Ensuring a robust and consistent approach is taken and that all issues raised are fully addressed
  • Challenging managers and services where standards are not met
  • Coordinating and monitoring responses to Member enquiries to ensure effective handling
  • Supporting the team in responding to Housing Ombudsman requests and determinations
  • Ensuring all complaints are handled in line with the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code
  • Meeting KPIs / SLAs for timeliness, quality, and accuracy
  • Maintaining high-quality documentation and audit trails on relevant systems
  • Managing workload effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Monitoring follow-up actions to ensure completion within agreed timescales and customer satisfaction
  • Building effective relationships with residents and stakeholders, keeping them informed throughout
  • Proactively chasing overdue complaint or enquiry responses
  • Identifying trends, root causes, and risks across cases and contributing to lessons learned and service improvement
  • Working with managers to identify training, procedural, and policy issues and contributing to policy, practice, and service planning
About You

You will be an experienced complaints or dispute resolution professional, ideally from a housing, local authority, or social housing background.

You will bring:
  • Experience of working with residents to resolve complaints or disputes with their landlord
  • Experience of dealing with a diverse community client base and developing successful strategies for dispute resolution
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a solutions-focused approach
  • Proven ability to organise your own workload and manage a large caseload with conflicting priorities
  • Confidence to exercise independent judgement, including on escalation decisions or complex/high-risk cases
  • Experience in setting up and maintaining accurate records, including databases and spreadsheets
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly and accurately
  • Ability to persuade, negotiate, and influence stakeholders to achieve fair outcomes
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality, evidence-based decision making
  • Commitment to continuing personal development and keeping up to date with best practice and regulatory requirements
