Complaint Handler

Complaint Handler

We are looking for a Complaint Handler to join our supportive Complaints Team. In this role, you’ll help customers feel heard, investigate concerns fairly, and play an important part in improving the service we provide. If you enjoy problem-solving, communicating clearly, and keeping things moving in a busy environment, this could be a great role for you.

You don’t need to know everything on day one, we will provide training and support to help you build confidence in the role. What matters most is that you’re organised, thoughtful in your approach, comfortable taking ownership, and keen to learn. If you have a good eye for detail and enjoy writing clear, helpful responses, we’d love to hear from you.

Perks you’ll enjoy

• Competitive salary: £26,000 to £28,000 per year, depending on experience
• Company pension, life insurance and sick pay
• Cycle-to-work scheme and on-site parking
• Monday to Friday working schedule, so your weekends are all yours
• Opportunities for career development and progression

What you’ll be doing

• Review complaint cases from a range of systems and resources, making sure details are accurate and up to date
• Investigate customer complaints, find solutions and respond in line with company policies
• Writing clear, accurate, and professional responses
• Speak with customers by telephone when this will help clarify concerns, build rapport and reach a fair outcome more efficiently
• Liaising with wholesalers, third parties, and internal teams to progress cases
• Spot trends in complaints and suggest improvements to prevent future issues
• Ensure customers get fair, consistent outcomes every time
• Manage your workload effectively and keep things moving to agreed timescales
• Grow your knowledge over time and share helpful learning with the team

What you’ll bring to the role

• Previous office experience and confidence using Microsoft Office
• Experience handling complaints would be helpful, but it isn’t essential as full training will be provided
• Comfortable working with numbers and calculations
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to explain complex issues clearly in writing and over the telephone
• A friendly, professional approach when working with colleagues and customers
• A willingness to learn about the legal and regulatory framework in the water sector, and to use analytical skills to work through more complex issues
• Good attention to detail, with the ability to draft written responses clearly and accurately
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise your workload effectively
• The ability to stay calm, focused and organised in a busy working environment
• Confidence working independently, while also enjoying being part of a team
