Job description:
Are you a natural problem-solver with a passion for turning challenges into opportunities? Do you thrive on making things right for customers and driving real change? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re on the lookout for a Customer Complaints Handler who’s ready to make a difference. This is more than just resolving issues - it’s about listening, investigating, and helping shape a better experience for every customer.
About the role
In this role, you’ll be the reassuring voice and proactive partner for customers who’ve had a less-than-perfect experience. You’ll take ownership of complaints from start to finish—whether they come through our customer service centre, regulators, MPs, or directly from customers—working quickly and thoughtfully to understand what went wrong and how to make it right.
You’ll carry out detailed investigations, uncover root causes, and recommend fair resolutions that align with our policies. Along the way, you’ll collaborate with teams across the business to share insights, drive improvements, and help prevent future issues. You’ll also play a key role in managing complaint-related debt suspensions and ensuring any financial redress is balanced and appropriate. With a strong focus on productivity, accuracy, and empathy, you’ll help us reduce backlogs and keep our customers informed and supported every step of the way.
About you
We’re looking for someone with proven experience in handling customer complaints—someone who knows how to listen, investigate, and resolve issues with confidence and care. You’ll bring excellent communication skills, a calm and professional approach, and a genuine passion for delivering great customer outcomes. If you're organised, curious, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where every day brings a new challenge, this could be the perfect fit.
Join us and be part of a team that values feedback, celebrates progress, and puts customers at the heart of everything we do.
