Staffordshire County Council
As part of our Customer Feedback and Complaints Team you will play a vital role in supporting the delivery of a responsive, fair and high‑quality service to residents, councillors and senior leaders.
Our team sits at the heart of the Council, coordinating customer feedback, complaints, MP enquiries and high‑profile correspondence to ensure concerns are handled appropriately, learning is identified, and statutory and corporate timescales are met. This work directly supports good governance, accountability and continuous service improvement across Staffordshire County Council.
This is a varied and fast‑paced role where no two days are the same. You will provide essential administrative and organisational support, acting as a key point of contact, managing information accurately and sensitively, and helping to ensure processes run smoothly and compliantly.
You will be working closely with complaints officers, senior managers and colleagues across the organisation, so flexibility, attention to detail and excellent customer service are essential. In return, you will be part of a supportive team that values professionalism, collaboration and making a positive difference for residents.
