Job Description:
Octavia’s Customer Relations Team is dedicated to resolving customer complaints, both orally and in writing, in a timely manner. The Team is also responsible for ensuring that issues that could affect other customers are identified and fed back. The Complaints Quality Officer is responsible for upholding the standards of complaint investigations and responses by reviewing a sample of customer contact and reviewing a sample of draft complaint written responses. The role focuses on achieving fair customer outcomes through complaint handling, whilst ensuring we maintain and adhere to the standards set by Octavia's brand values, the Regulator and the Housing Ombudsman.
The results of quality control checks are collected through a scorecard, and individual feedback and summary results should be shared with leaders within the function regularly, to steer performance management and training needs.

* Identify areas of our systems, processes, policies, or training that may cause complaints and suggest improvement opportunities. This includes managing and updating the scorecard used for complaints, ensuring this covers case management and complaint resolution checks in line with the Housing Ombudsman code.
* Provide training to new starters in the team, or those supporting the team via user guides and face to face training, keeping these materials updated. This includes supporting with onboarding and coaching for letter writing.
* Create and run workshops to support areas of development across the team and provide updates as needed at department team meetings.
