Complaint Officers in West Midlands, hybrid working

Your new company

We are partnering with a large, well‑established organisation within the regulated housing sector to recruit an experienced Complaints Officer (internally known as a Customer Experience Officer). This is a confidential vacancy, and full employer details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
Complaints are a crucial part of how this organisation learns, improves, and delivers safe, high‑quality services that residents can rely on. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured, high‑volume environment, shows empathy, and takes real ownership of delivering thorough, fair outcomes.

Your new role

You will manage end‑to‑end complaint investigations for cases escalated beyond the informal stage. These cases often involve sensitive, complex and multi‑layered issues, requiring excellent communication, strong judgement, and a meticulous approach to fact‑finding.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Conducting timely, robust investigations into a varied caseload of tenant complaints
  • Managing 15–20 open cases at any given time, each at different stages of the process
  • Communicating clearly and consistently with tenants throughout their complaint journey
  • Working collaboratively with internal teams to gather information and understand root causes
  • Producing high‑quality written outcome letters and clear case documentation
  • Managing competing priorities in a fast‑paced, compliance‑driven environment
You’ll play a vital part in improving customer satisfaction and ensuring tenants feel heard, respected, and supported.


What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience handling complaints within a regulated sector (housing, care, financial services, local authority, etc.)
  • Strong background in end‑to‑end complaint case management
  • Confident liaising directly with tenants and colleagues across multiple business areas
  • Excellent written communication skills, particularly in report and letter writing
  • Ability to manage conflicting priorities while delivering work of a consistently high standard
  • Adaptable, resilient, and comfortable working in a demanding environment
This role will offer hybrid working after training.

What you'll get in return

This organisation is known for its strong team culture, commitment to resident experience, and supportive working environment. You’ll be part of a team that is genuinely passionate about making a positive difference for tenants while maintaining professional and regulatory standards. You will be paid a competitive hourly rate and be paid on a weekly basis. This is a temporary assignment for 6 months, with the potential for extension.
