    Support the design and development of service standards and quality, ensuring that these are monitored and adhered to.

    As a subject matter expert, offer information, advice and guidance to colleagues on customer service, dispute resolution, and feedback and complaint handling.

    Monitor and report on the implementation of corrective/improvement actions arising from recommendations made by the team, escalating delays to the head of internal quality assurance and customer experience where appropriate.

    Undertake regular analysis of data obtained through feedback and complaints to identify and share lessons learnt to support improvement across the organisation.

    Draft regular and ad-hoc reports in relation to feedback and complaints to provide the head of internal quality assurance and customer experience with an overview of the risks and opportunities identified through the feedback received.

    Build and maintain strong professional relationships across teams and directorates, and with key external customers, contribute to departmental planning to support the delivery of our corporate objectives.

    Develop and maintain your knowledge of the work of teams across the organisation to ensure you can support customers and the organisation in the most effective way.
