We’re looking for a Complaints Officer to join our Customer Service Team. This is a new role for the organisation and an important step forward in how we support our customers.

We’re looking for someone who has experience of managing complaints previously and understands the importance of being customer centric. You’ll be a good communicator who actively listens and who is confident supporting customers over the phone and face to face.
